Daily Creativity: Love Your BodyThe Love Your Body series is near and dear to my heart. This sketch is done from a photograph taken for the Fat Naked Art Project by Durham photographer Heather Kolaya, and you should click that link to see the original image and explore their site for some inspiring photos. I love her energy and her smile.

I’ve been taking Aikido lately and was inspired to draw Rory in Kamae, and of course, he’s a green belt. This picture is ink on 9×12 marker paper, I really like using this paper when I use color, it doesn’t absorb the ink like other paper does so it ends up looking more like I originally intended. I find myself wanting more colors in my markers, but at $3 a pop I’m buying them slowly.
Tek has been getting his signature cosplay The Clockwork Doctor done up by different artist at cons, getting a different interpretation by each of them. It’s been a really neat project, so tonight I added my contribution to the project. I had a bit too much fun with the patterns, but I blame not having enough diversity in my markers.

Tonight after Tek and I came home from volunteering and then supper I realized I was able to make it to one of the Mob Hangouts. The Mob hangout is a virtual party for listeners of Flash Pulp, listeners of Flash Pulp are called the Flash Mob, or just simply the Mob. Sometimes we watch movies, other times play games, and then tonight, we goofed off and were silly.
Towards the end I realized I didn’t do my Daily Creativity yet, so I started scribbling. I had wanted to sketch out everyone in the hangout, but I ran out of space and time. So I have JRD, JMay, & Opopanax, they make up Skinner Co.
It’s just a quick sketch, I wanted an impression of the faces so I could move on and get the next person.
Second day into this year’s Lent project of Daily Creativity, I’m not sure where this scene came from, but it popped into my mind. I had fun with the line shading, I really like the crosshatching in the teddy’s ears.
