Day 111: chibi me
A "chibi" is a Japanese manga style of drawing that means small and cute. I wanted to draw a self portrait, so I decided on this style.
Here it was before I added color:
I can't tell which one I like better. What about you?
The chibi idea I got from a book called "Pop Manga" by Camilla D'errico. Here was her chibi that I used as a template to do chibi me:
Also, I experimented with incorporating white out pen like the art of Will Terrell. I like how the white matte helps Mini Me "pop."
Materials: pen, white out pen, markers, silver ink
Time: about two hours? I don't know ... I had so much fun!

Time: 1 hour

Day 107: best friends
This was my first time ever trying to paint with India Ink. I was surprised that it didn't bleed thru like the alcohol based marker or paint. It is definitely a medium where thin sketch/drawing paper will hold up well.
Who would a physically-handicapped penguin have for a friend? That's right, a cat! This is titled Fun in the Snow.
Materials: India ink, silver ink, brush marker, pen
Time: 30 minutes

Day 105: Blythe doll 1
I tried to incorporate the tools that I saw from the Will Terrell video yesterday. About holding the pencil flat against the paper to give a loose beginning sketch and move from the shoulder, pressing very lightly. I used a blending stump to smooth out lines instead of my finger and moved the book around so I was always drawing toward myself, which helped keep the paper clean and things in perspective. She was fun to do and she has a haunted, starved look about her that I really like. She reminds me of the corpse bride. I think this is one of my favorite drawings I've done on this project to date.
Materials: Grey sketchpad, 2B pencil, blender
Time: 20 minutes
I came back to make her look more raw:
Time: 10 minutes additional
