Note to Self: Buy a Uke


I did this quick painting to remind myself to buy a new instrument and learn it.
And what better instrument to learn than the ukulele!



Maud Wagner


Maud Wagner (1877-1961)
the first female tattoo artist in the U.S.

I saw a picture of this woman and just had to do a drawing of her myself.
She is too badass!

CatsCatsCats

I don't think I've ever drawn so many cats in my entire life...
and I don't think anyone should. I used my pen tip & ink to draw this birthday card for my
"non-cat-owner yet cat-obsessed" friend, Diana.
I thought it would be a better idea than some half-hearted
 "Happy Birthday, Friend" card from Target.

So for all you cat lovers out there, I hope these drawings suffice.

My Refuge


I've been itching to paint something other than a character, so I just did a layout of my room! haha
It was alot more fun to work on than I thought.
The personalities of one's room really does rely on the detail.
Because details matter (:

Joan Holloway, not Harris


I love me some Joan.
I've watched a few Mad Men episodes while making this, and I've realized how much I've been lagging on the show. So far behind...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are a few pictures I took on my recent trip to Portland two weeks ago. Such a beautiful city with so much moisture in the air and everywhere! L.A. needs some of this climate right now, cuz being in a drought is not the business.

Pintrest + Washi Paper

Pintrest is so awesome and sooooo useful. And its super fun to find things to draw too!

Found some old washi paper I had lying around my room, and decided to make use of it somehow for this piece.
It gives her a bit more life, I guess (:




Pintrest reference:


Have a great week, everyone

SketchGroup!

Hooray!! I finally got the chance to do some figure drawings, WITH A LIVE MODEL!
Feels nice drawing someone who's actually posing for you after creeping & sketching some strangers in public...

Center Stage Gallery in Burbank is providing an Uninstructed Sketch Group on Wednesdays and I got lucky enough to make it today! It was soo therapeutic and I was having the time of my life. I hope I'll be able to catch more drawing classes... but more on a weekly basis. (New Resolution! added.)
Here are some 10 and 20 minutes drawings from today.
(taken with iPhone5, cuz I'm lazy...)
