On vacation

Hello to anyone who is reading this. I have been taking a little break from drawing, because I am on vacation. Yay! I am in California visiting one of my very good friends, and her family. She has an adorable almost 2-year-old daughter, and a 2 week old baby boy. He is so sweet and he just sleeps in my arms all the time. They are so cute, but wow, are they a lot of work! I have some great ideas for Spacegirl though, so I will be back to drawing very soon.

Feminism in Art

Here is my latest picture that I did last night. Originally, I was thinking that it would be Spacegirl that was captured by the aliens and Spaceman would rescue her, but I decided that that was a little cliche. I want Spacegirl to be strong and capable. Not that Spaceman isn't strong and capable (he most definitely is! ;) ) but I just wanted to show that Spacegirl is too. My favorite part of this picture is the ray gun. It was really fun to draw and fun to do the neat blur effects. Here it is:

Etsy

So I put my pictures on etsy.com today, which is a website kind of like ebay where you can sell art, clothing, pottery, and other creative type projects. So far, I only have them as prints. I would like to have notecards also, but I need to get some made first. I want some for myself anyway. And I want to get enough pictures done that I could make a calendar. I think that would be really fun. :)

New Drawing

Moons and Moon Zombies

This picture I drew along time ago, but now with my cool new software I can color it in all pretty.

Here is the picture to which I was referring in the previous post, so that if anyone is actually reading this, you can see what I was talking about.

Running vs. Dancing

I am feeling a little frusterated. I have never taken any drawing classes, and I only draw for fun. So I suppose that my drawings don't have to be perfect. But being the perfectionist that I am, I really want them to be. I am having trouble drawing figures in action, because usually I draw stationary figures. It is just so discouraging to spend so much time working on something and have it be not quite right. I knew that Spaceman and Spacegirl didn't really look like they were running, but I was hoping no one else would notice. :) Silly me. Spaceman says it looks like they are dancing, and he is right. They look like they are doing the twist or something. Remember how in Scooby Do, when they ran they ran straight upright. Hehe.

Spacegirl

Here she is! So far anyway. . . I love the pink hair. I am still not sure about the silver. Spaceman says it should be silver, but it just looks so gray.
