Fox, IMO


I've had this drawing program called ArtWeaver for a long time now, but I never really sat down and learned to do anything with it.  So a couple of nights ago, I decided to test out all of the tools they offer and at the same time started drawing a yawning fox!  I used mostly oil pastels, but you can also find in there: oil and acrylic paints, pencils, art knife, some sort of texturizing thing, sponge, and felt tip pen.  Then I slapped my signature on there like it was a masterpiece exactly when I was tired of drawing with my mouse and not a moment later!

I thought it was pretty cute for a rough experiment!

How Jaunty?

Pretty jaunty, actually.

This dapper little fellow was made as a gift for my friend.  It's pen and ink and marker and watercolor on a 5 x 7" piece of cardstock paper.  Actually, it is a card.  A birthday card.  There was an inscription inside.  This is the kind of pal I am.

The Duck Goes "Hello"


In the graffiti app, for a while, I was making many friendly greetings to my friends! This is a very quick duck.

Andalusian Horse

I haven't really drawn with charcoal very much. This one here is the first one I tried. I gave it away long, long ago but I believe it was probably a six inch square or so in size.

It's a rabbit head!

(It's still attached, I promise. You just can't see the body from here)

Sacred Ibis


Hands down, my favorite Egyptian god is Thoth, so I have this fondness for ibises. I enjoy drawing them in most forms, including the Facebook app, Graffiti!

A Bassett I Once Knew


Once upon a time there was a stray bassett hound. I took care of him for an afternoon before turning him over to a no-kill bassett hound rescue shelter. I decided to draw a bunch of pictures of him because he was the best pal for that day.

Sweetpea


This is my ferret, Sweetpea. She enjoys bags of all kinds. This drawing is 8x10 inches.

Baltimore Oriole


Here is a somewhat crummy capture of an otherwise pleasant acrylic painting of a bird. The canvas was a twelve inch square, and in person it is more vivid with clearer detail - but I think you can get a taste of it here anyway.

Horse


A chestnut horse is done up in harness. It has a roached mane. This was on a 12 x 17 " piece of Bristol Board, if I am not mistaken, and is now framed and hanging on a wall somewhere in the state of Kentucky.

Scuttle


A crab. A watercolor crab. On four by six inch paper.

Hug It


On Facebook, there is an app called Graffiti. It's like a better version of MS Paint, I guess, basically. Anyway, I very much enjoy drawing with it. This is a baby tapir.

This Is a Brussels Griffon

This little dog's head was drawn on a seven by seven inch square of paper.

Oh, Hello Giraffe


This is a pen and ink depiction of a giraffe having lunch. It is from the year 1998 and is on an 8 x 11 inch sheet of paper. It is on display in a kitchen in Racine, WI, within view of Lake Michigan.
