Daily Creativity: IshimeDaily Creativity: Ishime

Ishime is a character that I’ve tried to draw before but never got as close as this. I’m getting better but, I still need to do more work I think before I’m read to add her to my illustrations. She’s a panther cub with purple eyes and a white streak of fur on her forehead. She believes that she can become invisible if she slathers herself with perfume, everyone lets her believe that. She was created by a good friend of mine, but has stayed with me all of these years. Added to Rory’s friends long ago. This is just a snapshot, will scan later. I’m waiting on a new cable for my scanner. Pencil on paper.

Day two of lent purge has also been done. Removing items from the house is liberating.

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.

Daily Creativity: Malala Yousafzai

Malala Yousafzai Daily CreativityTomorrow is International Women’s Day, and in that honor I drew Malala Yousafzai. She’s a role model for all, a champion for education, and someone who can remind us that there is more in the world than what effects us directly. I’m so impressed with this young lady and impressed with all that she has done. She is eloquent and a wonderful ambassador, so she makes a great spokesperson for her cause. Her life story is enough to inspire, many other women and girls have been through similar trauma, she is far from alone. The fact that she continues to push and promote education for all makes her a superhero to me. I drew this with pencils on paper.
