Doodling

I recently saw a Venetian mask and was fascinated by it. It was just so beautiful. So, I had to draw one. Here are a couple of them, just in case you wonder what they look like.

Aren’t they beautiful? I just found them incredible.

So, to draw one, I started by trying to draw a face…and that meant I had to figure out how to do that. I might never have taken art per say but I can use google with the best of them and I know there are specific ratios to a face. One search later and I came up with this.

Sort of looks like a mask…

Then I started colouring…and got this.

So, that’s where I am right now…it’s still a work in progress but the colours are super fun to do.

Shhhh

So, here’s the thing. I kiss my doggies. I hug and pet them and whisper things to them and ask them questions. I rub their tummies and tickle their bellies and kiss their ears. They love it and I love it. I do it all the time and it often involves me rolling around with them.

My lovely hubby has told me time and time again that I should keep my distance a little bit and that shoving my face into their fur is not a good idea. But, what does he know, right?

Well, this morning I woke up with one eye open and the other closed. I have an eye infection.

I’m honestly hoping he won’t notice…a lot.

In other news, I did finish my painting.

Doodling

I know you are a forgiving audience, gentle reader. So, you won’t mind if I indulge and share a doodle. It’s only just started.

I saw this incredibly beautiful woman online and I had to draw her. The picture does not do her justice, of course, but she’s such a great model to draw. Her face has such incredibly beautiful lines and proportions, I just stare and stare at her.

Well, I didn’t like that one

I know I’m doing this just for fun but that little girl needed help. So I started over….and got this.

I like the facial proportions better here. The nose is better and the chin centred…and the shading done better as well….for me at least.

Doodling again…

Just stared it. The nose gave me some trouble but it’s coming. We’ll see what I get when I play with it tomorrow.

Doodling…finished!

Finally, I finished the deer and the turtle.

No Picassos but they were so much fun to draw!

Doodling

Just doodling  butterfly…then I added some flowers and a little more yellow.

And now, I’m doing a deer. This was before…

And now…

Not done yet, but I’ll share it when I finish.

Guess who found time to doodle?

This was the picture before I got my little paws on it.

This is the picture now.

It’s no Picasso but at least it was soothing work. 😀

Doodling

This is my latest doodle. Just for fun.

The plight of an artist

My lovely hubby is a therapist and he has just opened up a new office. When he saw one of my doodles, he decided to take a chance on me and asked me to draw some inspirational quotes for his office.

So, enjoying this sudden new job as an artist and of having my first ‘customer’, I started doodling

This was my first picture.

My hubby reluctantly accepted this one. But explained he wanted something more …more. Not having a clue what he meant by ‘more’, I drew some proposals and showed him my ideas.

He didn’t like any of them. Apparently, they were too girly for therapy.

Now, I know he’s the therapist but too girly?

Maybe this would be more to his liking:
