Sweet like Sugar Skulls.

Hello everyone :-)

I have been away far too long (I know I've said that before!), I am now playing catch up and its no fun :-P Its been a long hard slog in my "real" job for the last couple of weeks but I thunk things are settling down a bit now!! I've not been able to keep up with any of the drawing I started from Cameron's Blog :-( I do hope I can catch up a little bit!! The lesson's are such fun, I just need to set aside some time to really give them a go!!

I did manage to get some drawing done though, ok that's not strictly true! I drew the picture ages a go but I decided to take the plunge and colour it in!!


I have to say I'm quite pleased with this so far!  I love Sugar Skulls, I really find the colours and styles so interesting!! I'm hoping to draw more, maybe themed ones! If anyone has any ideas on themes i could do please let me know!!


It kind of looks like he has a moustache, maybe I'm subconsciously channelling Poirot here haha!! I think i need to take a step back and come back to it later and see if it needs any tweaking! Bit as the first thing I've drawn AND coloured myself in a long time I think it's gone quite well!!

That's it on the art front at the moment though :-( I must do better!!


And this photo is just because I love the necklace I'm wearing in it :-P Oh and the top!! Both were bargains! The necklace is from www.punkypins.co.uk and the top was in the Henry Holland sale! I literally LOVE Henry Holland clothes :-D

Hope you all have a lovely week!!

  2. Oh look at you! Aren't you adorable?! I just love it when I can see the faces of my favorite Bloggers....next step better is a video where I can hear, too...but that will have to come much later for me, too....haha!

    The Sugar Skull looks awesome colored in. Maybe a celestial one with stars and moons or an ocean themed one? I don't think I've seen ones like that yet ;P

    I will be doing another Drawing Lab Lesson this week, but don't feel alone, I skipped 2 weeks in between.....I was just so busy, too!

    Hugs,
    Cameron

  3. I'll be reviewing that book this week some time (she says even though am losing time by the bucket load) when I have it'll be in the post to you x

    Love the Sugar Skull and had to chuckle at Poirot - yes, I see the 'tash now :D Excellent! How about a Nightmare before Christmas one or a Japanese themed one?

    Love your picture - am jealous of your clear skin, am a zit explosion at the moment. Must be the hormones! Nice!
