Daily Face: June 28th

God is always there and when you need that extra help call on other Christians to say a prayer for you too.
What a difference prayer makes.

Daily Face: June 24th

I need to find happier portraits to illustrate. However this is good practice drawing mugshots.

Paper 53: Journal Page

Drawn with Paper 53

I did this at my friend Cathey's house while she finished cooking dinner. It's her centerpiece.

New App: Paper 53-I think I'm in luv!

So while surfing I came across this app called paper 53. It is a space to create with digital ink. This was my very first time trying it. I think it has great potential for me. The first drawing utensil is free but the others cost a $1.99 each or you can just by the Essential Kit for  $6.99, but you still have to buy the mixer. I was so excited about buying the pencil stylus, but to my dismay my iPad 2 is obsolete. The pencil will not work with it because it does not have retina display. I still might purchase it and try it out own my husbands iPad mini. Also you can have your illustrations turn into a moleskine. Watch video - I'm in love with this, I can't wait to finish a journal.

IF: Pattern

My submission for Illustration Friday. I love the patterns of Orla Kiely. I came across her clothing at Anthropology.

Illustration Friday: Eyeglasses



"As he glanced through the side of his eyeglasses he knew that it was over." My submission for IF. I did some other illustrations but I chose this one.

IF: Whisper

Let me whisper a secret in your ear. Remember the innocent days of secrets between friends. Whispers of like and dreams, who did what, what she said. This is my submission for Illustration Friday-Whisper.

Face 6 - Gentle



March gently with the shadows, yet breath the wind.



I have a poetry board in my office at school which I allow children to create while their waiting. There is one student who loves the board. This is her short poem.

Watercolor Added

I haven't attempted a watercolor in awhile so I thought I'll pull them out and see what comes out. I really love this sketch of A Sad Girl. I think some of the emotion was lost when I added the color. More practice is needed, but there is never enough time for all that I want to do.
