Forgot My Femminista

I forgot to post these sketches. Doing it now because I won't remember the next time. My little unnamed femminista. 



After rediscovering my love for colored pencils, digital drawing doesn't really excite me anymore.

Colored Pencils Love

Forgot to upload some drawings from the smaller sketchbook... oh, well! I've been doodling a lot with colored pencils. From middle to high school, colored pencils were a must in my bag. When I hit college, I practically abandoned them for whatever reason. Now, I've regained my love for them. 


I'm not sure if it looks like him anymore. A Keanu Reeves portrait because I had the urge to draw something traditional. Also, it's a gift for my store manager since she and I share a birthday with him. 



The dream catchers were initially designs for my co-worker's tattoo. We were trying to decide how the feathers should flow on her back. 





A bunch of ill-fated ladies since I was watching by boyfriend play Resident Evil: Revelation



Finally, a silly Valentine's Day portrait of my and my boo. He's a beaver and I'm a platypus (no, it's not a Psyduck). Still thinking whether I should color them in digitally or traditionally.

There Goes 2013...

Got a few drawings scanned! 




I've fallen in love with colored pencils again! The third one's actually a mix with watercolor pencils. There will definitely be more experiments. 



My little feministas.


"Don't eat me!"
I keep thinking about coloring some of my sketches, but I'm afraid of overdoing it. Since I still have their .psd files saved, I could use them as warmups before I work on a project.


Brainstorming ideas for my co-worker's dream catcher tattoo. Funny how I google "dream catcher" and get more photos of the tattoos than the actual thing. She wants the moon design, which is awesome because it's my original. 


Doodles at 4:00 A.M. on the left and my next illustration for a mini series.
