I’m trying to get back in the habit of Drawing Something New Every Bloody Day, a habit i’ve managed to maintain for years at a time before but have repeatedly fallen out of and always had difficulty getting back into. (Motivation to keep a four-hundred-day drawing streak going is easy. Motivation to start a new…
Quite possibly my first caricature which a) actually looks like the person it’s supposed to be and b) doesn’t look too much like the person it’s supposed to be. I paused the news show he was on in the middle of him making a vaguely muppet-like face. Then again, i also paused him in the…

Since i’m speed painting every day this month anyway, i gave myself a new self-portrait for my birthday. I usually use a self-portrait instead of a photo for my avatar or userpic on the sites which allow such a thing, but my last one is over a year old (and, by extension, a piercing short),…
Digital speed painting, 12 minutes. yet another simple portrait. This is the first time i bothered setting up video for a twelve-minute painting. Mainly because i knew when i started i’d not be taking the time for a half-hour painting today. Reproductions of digital art available starting at $10.44

Speedpainting, 30 minutes. Did this one all on one layer (usually i use two). It was a bit of an accident but for speedpainting i think it may actually work better – mainly because not being able to erase properly or lock the transparency of the working layer forced me to actually keep my mask…

Speedpainting, 30 minutes. Not necessarily Anne Hathaway’s Fantine, just a sad post-selling-every-damn-thing-she-has Fantine. Someday i’ll need to draw a happier one. If you watch the video, there’s a bit of messing around in the background which ended up being deleted from the final image. Nothing particularly impressive (which is why none of it made it…
Speedpainting, 30 minutes. yet another quick portrait. I tried using more opaque brushes than usual this time, worked out good in some places and not so good in other places. We’ll see how it goes after i’ve better got the hang of it. Reproductions of digital art available starting at $10.44

Speedpainting, 30 minutes. One of the goddess/saint Brigid for Imbolc. I’m very fond of Imbolc. It tends to come right when i’m ready for winter to be over, and it’s nice to have a little holiday to brighten things up a bit, especially one which primarily focuses on the very first signs of spring. Reproductions…
Speedpainting, 30 minutes. Meant to be an angel, but there’s not enough detail in this little portrait for it to be obvious. So… this makes my first painting of my speedpainting-a-day attempt for February. One down, twenty-seven to go. Reproductions of digital art available starting at $10.44
Speedpainting, 30 minutes. Just a thoughtful young woman. I don’t plan on doing any speedpainting today but otherwise i would say i’ve been getting a jump on the whole ‘speedpaint every day’ plan i have for February. Also! I finally figured out video recording. Mostly. It’s not a perfect recording (most notably, when i sped…
Speedpainting, 30 minutes. A bit of make-up experimentation. I’m somewhat planning on doing a speedpainting every day in February. Maybe by the end of the month i’ll have even figured out videos. Reproductions of digital art available starting at $10.44
After ‘Sadness‘ i thought i may as well try my hand at a proper speedpainting: no pencil art and strict time constraints, just an hour of digital work. Stuck to something relatively simple so i could still reach a level of detail in such a small amount of time, and this was the result. I…

Brighid is one of the more famous Celtic goddesses. Or, rather, three of the more famous goddesses, as Brighid is a triple goddess. Rumour has it the Catholic saint Brigid is a Christianised version of this goddess. Pencil, 8.4″x11″ Original pencil art available for $15
The challenge of choosing the right path… I’m still trying to decide if she counts as a ‘faerie’ or not. She wasn’t originally meant to be and the pattern behind her is even at its most wing-like a very abstract representation. Pencil, 8.4″x11″. Planning on adding some colour in PS as well but this is…
In theory this is just a generic dancer figure drawing. But i think she’s up to something… Pencil, 8.4″x11″ Original pencil art available for $15
Mossy nymph or moss-covered stone? This particular figure drawing is a bit ambiguous in that area. Pencil, 8.4″x11″ Original pencil art available for $15
Originally meant to be a moon-goddess, but i didn’t do much with her beyond a side-lit figure drawing. Pencil, 8.4″x11″ Original pencil art available for $15
Figure drawing meets climbing vine, with a bit of piercing study thrown in. I’ve seen snakes, cats, and dragons turned into two-part earrings like this – i won’t be much surprised if i see someone’s done it with plants, too. Pencil, 8.4″x11″ Original pencil art available for $15
Anthropomorphic figure drawing based on the little garter snake. Random anecdote: I once volunteered at an animal shelter which had, among other animals, a snake.

I suppose she could qualify as a mermaid, but standard mermaids are so rarely drawn with anything interesting about the ears. The defining feature is the not-shown-here tail. Pencil, 8.4″x11″ Original pencil art available for $15

It is irritatingly difficult to make someone appear to be the living embodiment of rain and not just someone caught in a storm, and I’m still not sure I succeeded in this one. I suppose she could be a nature-lover dancing in the rain for celebratory purposes. Pencil, 8.4″x11″ Original pencil art available for $15.00

This almost wasn’t a cyborg illustration at all – I was experimenting with showing different emotions through the eyes, and decided to give this woman something to be angry about. Namely, facing down the enemy who took out her original eye and necessitated its replacement. Which, of course, requires drawing in a replacement. The scar’s…

Similar, but different, ‘Projector‘-style implant. I wanted to see if I could work an Illustration Friday image into this series, this week being ‘Burst’. The best I’ve come up with so far was a fireworks projection implant, which didn’t come out too well in my sketches. So, bubbles. Suppose I could have a bubble or…

Not as intense as i was originally planning on making her, but she looks fairly irritated.
No fun attempt at a description today. It’s just a guy. A GUY TORMENTED BY CONSTANT VISIONS OF WORLD DESTRUCTION! /end overactive imagination
Tried laying down colours with Sketchbook Mobile X’s brush tool instead of the airbrush… eh. I should really just splurge on the full version with actual transparency options already.
Airbrush Girl. So called because she was done using mainly the airbrush tool… I’m not always very creative with names 😛
I’ve got a fascination with the concept of hardware which is powered by blood instead of batteries. I think this hearing aid reroutes a bit more than is necessary, though.
The latest model in prosthetics – programmed to give their owners a neck rub.
Not sure what the tear-wires are supposed to connect to… they just seemed like a good idea at the time.

©2009 Sharon Rosa I started this for the Illustration Friday theme, Instinct, based on the short story “Instinct” by George Oliver Smith.

Introducing Jacqui Roux! I’ve been meaning to come up with a T*C mascot for ages, and with this week’s Illustration Friday theme being “fierce,” i figured it was the perfect time to create my fierce little mascot. For the interested: a few work-in-progress screenshots, and the original concept sketch done a very long time ago….

Pencil, 3½×5½ in. It started off as a self, portrait, but i started getting creative soon after i started drawing. For example, i totally do not have bifocals.

Ink/Watercolour, 4″ x 6″ I went on a bit of an elf kick again. This is one of the ones i plan to have up for sale soon.
Broke out the coloured pencils today. I’m planning on trying out some watercolour painting soon – this is just a quick self-reminder on traditional colour media.
The actual pencil drawing is much smaller than usual today. I thought, as a result, it would likely scan badly, but it came out pretty good. Yay.
Inspired by the back of a P!nk CD case. Yes, that’s the sort of thing i keep tacked to my wall, and this is what comes out of it.
Significantly better line work today, though still not as good as i’d like. Also i screwed up a bit on colouring the line work.
Tried something new today. I’m not too fond of the line work, but that’s just a general issue i have with hard brushes. One more thing to practise on, i guess.
