Watercolor Knits and Little Curly-headed Girl



I don’t knit, but she showed up on my dash and reminded me of my niece at this age.

2013 Year in Review


Some months were hard. I was prolific in March-April, not in June, then gained speed in Sept-October, then started petering out again.

After a Long Day of Magic Lessons




I saw Thor 2 and this is what it inspired me to draw when I came home. I love Mama Frigga, she understood Loki.

Willy Cartier Again



Last and final try. I tried watercolor, pencil, and now it seems this model is just drawn best with rough paper with charcoal.

Willy Cartier in pencil


Ever pull out a piece of paper intent on doing something then the hand does something else? I didn’t do this, the hand did. Probably have to do one more of this gorgeous model to get him out of my system.

Vanessa Hudgens Watercolor Practice
Watercolor and pencil.

I used Vanessa Hudgens as a reference but took away all her bling (feathers, necklaces, bracelets, piercings, etcs, so much!). I just wanted to practice.

Luna Lovegood

Luna Lovegood

You know, she’s grown on me, Luna. I know she’s insane, but it’s in a good way. -RW

Charcoals on toned Strathmore, 2hrs.

I love Luna. I should love Hermione more—her bravery, cleverness, and the beautiful actress who played her, but I relate to Luna so much more. We are a lot alike.

Isaac Lahey - Daniel Sharman




Pencil, black and white charcoal.

After doing a painting of him that came out just plain awful, I sat down with my first loves - pencil & charcoal - and did this quickly. It helped, but I still wish the painting would have turned out all right too.
