Lots of Drawing!

This past weekend I have drawn several things! Not only that, but I actually collaged something. I usually don't feel like my collages ever look very good, but I'm proud of the one I did this Sunday evening.

It mostly has images I cut out of a book I got from our used book store. Seahorses included of course! I'm very proud of it. Its approx. 5x7 inches.

I also sorta collaged/drew this inchie set!

Inchies are mini art. 1x1 inches wide, it's a fun challenge to collage art that small.

I also finished my drawing of the pig and posted it to etsy: http://www.etsy.com/listing/94998311/paisley-pig-original-black-and-white-ink

Piggy! Yay! Please click on the image and view it in its proper size, it looks a billion times better! :)

And while watching the boys play Modern Warfare 3, I drew a zebra ATC for atcsforall.com.

ATC = Artist Trading Cards! 2.5x3.5 art that is perfect for trading. :)

And in church I drew this zentangley ACEO for etsy, I think spring should hurry up and come! I want the fresh green leaves! This one will be posted for sale on etsy sometime tomorrow I hope.

I also drew an all-colored zentangle on Friday. It doesn't have any black at all! I drew it while listening/after listening to my sis sing in her concert choir. It was all spring/happy songs that made me want spring. It's posted to etsy already.

Its all red! And also brown and a really deep royal purple (that looks a bit too dark in this photo. Alas).

Venus Flytrap

I found this plant on etsy.com,

OK, so how cool is that? I want to buy a live venus flytrap! :)

This afternoon I started on a drawing of a pig. The form will be loosely based on a little statue of a pig my sister got on her mission trip to Haiti a couple summers ago.

A short stumpy pig, with a half-curl tail on the rump!

I can't wait to finish him. But in drawing his outline, I found my thin tiny detail Sakura Pigma pen is running out of ink. I hope I can buy a new one tomorrow or Wednesday. I can always print out one of Michaels 40% off coupons, so it'll be about only 2 bucks. Yay!
I also posted new art on ETSY! The oldish drawing of a seahorse aceo.

He's on my etsy shop.

Peacocks, Seahorses, and Octopi, Oh My!

I drew this awesome peacock feather! I just adore peacocks! They have all my favorite colors combined into opalescent awesomeness.
It's a proper 4x6 inches. :)

And I got some good ol' color into it. I'm not used to drawing with multiple colors! It takes different brain power.

A close up of the color. Pretty cool isn't it?

Not posted to my etsy yet, but will be tomorrow.

Instead, I posted this slightly older drawing of an octopus. Its ACEO size (2.5x3.5). :)

Swirly the Octopus, as named by Sister. :D

I think I drew him last week. Octopuses (octopodes, octopi, octopus) are fun to draw, cus of the eight swirling twirling curling legs. Yay!

AND last but not least, Wednesday night at prayer meeting I drew this seahorse ATC. It's for a trade on atcsforall.com.

BTW, for those of you who keep asking (VICKSTERS!!!), ATCs and ACEOs are "Artist Trading Cards", and "Art Card Editions and Originals." Basically, trading cards for artists! Always 2.5x3.5 inches, and no other rule besides that. The difference between ATC and ACEO is that ATCs are traded, and ACEOs are for selling/buying.
