Posting a few drawings I've done in the past couple of weeks.

I'm kinda focused on eyes for some reason.

The last two of these drawings are doodles.   From the last 3 days of training at work.  I had to force myself to stay focused on the training and I'm so used to multi-tasking at work that I took the training worksheet where we were writing down record keys we were creating and started to doodle.  Using two bic pens--one black, one blue.  I filled up the first page on day one and on day two was going nuts so I turned it over and started to doodle something I kinda dreamed about the previous night.  That doodle took me two days of class.

None of these are scanned.  They are quick photos and so are not crisp--they are more blurry than the originals.

I'm kinda proud of all of these. 



above:  the original is much crisper.

above:  Days 2 & 3 of training.  Here's the original.


above:  I photoshopped it to see what it would look like with the animal face a slightly different color.  I only had two colors of pens in class.

Oh man there are some amazingly awesome and creative people out there in the world aren't there?

I went looking for one measly little icon for drawing and have now lost about two hours by being mesmerized by how creative people are.

I just found the deviantart  community.  Duh.  I love DeviantArt so of course there would be an LJ community for it.  I'm not sure when I'm going to come up for air now...

*dives back in without a look back at the book I'm supposed to be reading...*

The other day I posted here about a fandom (hee Freudian slip!) random set of childhood images that crossed my mind while looking out the window into the sunshine.

Since then I've gone back to that post many times because the images just cheer me up. So I was thinking I might try to post an image or two each day based on a random thought. Not sure if I will keep to that schedule.

I feel like I did this yesterday when I posted here wishing mrsr58  a happy birthday.

So late last night I was thinking about what 'random thought' to post images about next. And 'colored pencils' popped into my head. Which is very weird considering where this post will end up--keeping reading. And yes this will all tie back to SUPERNATURAL!

I love colored pencils. I love drawing. I don't do it very often. At random times in my life I've gone into bursts of time periods where I really get into drawing. Several years ago I discovered colored pencils and had about a two-year love affair with them. Despite the fact that I'm not actively drawing right now I still love colored pencils. In fact a few months ago, when I was blue and I was in a craft store picking something up for my son--I walked by a colored pencil display. I picked up a vermilion Prismacolor pencil and just started...um... sniffing it. I ended up buying the pencil just so I could feel, touch, see, and smell it. I know.... weird.

So I have a couple of photos from flickr that show colored pencils. As well as a couple of my own drawings from long, long ago that aren't really very good--but there you go.

Now what's really weird and how it all leads back to Supernatural. I was browsing my flist just now and came across this Crack Impala Friday Art/Vid/Misc post. The first rec was for a colored pencil drawing of Sam by lupe_lei  's LJ. Which led me to this wonderful work-in-process of Dean (mrsr58  check it out!) You should also just check out her recent postings as she shows the progression of these pieces over time. While I really like the Sam piece, I *WANT* the Dean piece. So I'll be commenting on her site about how great these are.

And on to my colored pencil pic-a-day picspam.
