Daily Creativity: Deadwood’s Richardson & Alma

Daily Creativity: Deadwood's Richardson & AlmaIf you’ve been paying attention, you’ll know this is my second Deadwood drawing, and you can thank Hooplecast for that. I drew this while I recorded with them today and it was slightly a request. More on that in another post. I love Richardson, and I figured if I was drawing him, I ought to draw his crush, Alma. Richardson cracks me up, how he holds that same antler that Alma gave him in ever scene since, it’s hysterical. I’ve since discovered that my love for this character isn’t new, odd, or special. The internet adores him, just search for Deadwood’s Richardson, His gifs, and memes, are amazing.

Daily Creativity: Worthy

Daily Creativity - WorthyThis piece was inspired by someone’s tattoo. I love the idea of tattooing something like worthy on yourself. Each of us are worthy and in today’s world sometimes it takes remembering that to be able to survive. The world is negative and surrounded with ads on how to fix flaws these same ad companies have made up, just to sell your their product. If we could each remember our worth I think the world would be a better place.

Originally I was going to paint a tea cup using tea as my medium, it was a stunning failure. The tea aged the paper but I couldn’t build up any layers so it was pretty sad. Perhaps I can get it to work with coffee someday, who knows.

Daily Creativity: Pip Boy Rory!

Pip Boy Rory - Daily CreativityIf you’re a fan of the Fallout series of games then you are familiar with Pip Boy. If not, he’s basically the stand in for all of the infographics you see in the game, a game about a post apocalyptic world with a very heavy 1950’s influence of culture. While I was crafting in Fallout shelter tonight I decided that I needed to may Rory as Pip Boy. I think the hardest thing here was making the thumbs up on a figure that normally doesn’t have fingers on his paws. The other challenge is that usually I draw Rory from the side to emphasize his tum, but this composition required me to draw him head on. Working with his proportions was a bit unfamiliar, but it definitely helped me learn how his body is formed, so that’s a plus. This is a watercolor on paper.

Daily Creativity: Manatee

Manatee - Daily Creativity The Manatee is one of my favorite animals. If you haven’t seen the blog/meme The Calming Mantatee, I suggest you check it out. I wanted to do another drawing in pencils with some shading, and I thought of this because I think this mammal is soft and that works with shading. I used a method to prevent my hand, or heel of my hand, from smearing the graphite. I don’t know why it never occured to me, but simply putting a piece of scrap paper between my hand and the paper was enough to reduce the smearing to almost nil. Anything that was still smudged was easily dealt with by using a blending eraser.

Princess Tiana Daily CreativityDaily Creativity: Princess Tiana

Princess Tiana is a fantastic role model and I’m so happy with how that Disney film was crafted. I knew of Tiana before even seeing the movie, my niece was obsessed with her. There was also this amazing cosplayer who’s picture I saw around a lot, she did a great Tiana and I fell in love with her other cosplays. Her name is Brichibi, and you can find her all over the web, facebook, twitter, tumblr, and her site. I knew I was going to love her before seeing the movie. Then this past year I watched it and I did indeed fall in love with not just Tiana but so many of the characters and the story. I wish I had her as a disney princess when I was younger.
