This Floating woman was inspired by a script my friend Melissa wrote as part of a script writing challenge. She asked me for some art to put with it for her post, I sent her some and was inspired by her writing to draw this. I love the round circle of inspiration here. I will come back and link to her scene when she posts it publicly, but in the meantime, just know, it’s great. Read the script here, it’s amazing!

I drew this typewriter with my recently hacked frankenpen fountain pen. It’s a Zebra comic G nib in a fountain pen. This isn’t something you would want to do to a nice fountain pen, but considering I paid $6 for the pen, and it wasn’t my favorite, it was ok trashing the pen for this. Doing this will ruin your fountain pen, and if you don’t take care the nib could rust in the feed and trash the feed. I knew the risks.
I missed drawing with a quill, and this solved that. I wanted to experiment with some line art. I just did the outline of the typewriter so that it would blend well with the swirling lines surrounding it.

Luna is a wonder dog. It’s funny how a dog you have never physically me, but know through the love se gives your friend, the happiness she gives, and various video chats, can touch your heart. My heart has been holding tight for a few months as my friends go through a hard time. This morning I cried for them, and still hold out some hope. I wanted to draw her today because even now, when she is in pain, she’s just amazing and loving. I think that animals are a gift that humans get to exist with. If we are lucky we form relationships with them. It’s how we care for them that we can show them our love, and their affection is golden.

Not sure why I drew a Hot Air Balloon, but there was something about the idea of it that stuck in my head. The whimsy and fun of it. In reality I would hate to ride in a balloon, or anything like that. Still, the idea is pretty, both on the paper and in my head.

This Love Your Body piece was inspired by Mark Velasquez’s photo that I spotted on tumblr a while back. I was so struck by the image, the posing and the draping of the fabric for some reason reminded me of religious art, it was very goddess like to me. So when I sketched her I kept that in mind and tried to bring that to my drawing. I like to keep images from tumblr to work on later. My flow is when I see something that strikes me I click reblog>save as draft. My drafts folder is full of beautiful figures just waiting to be turned into art.
