I'm a writer at heart, but that's not my only means of creativity. I also love drawing and creating banners and book covers. I loved drawing a little kid. Who didn't. There was just so much that could be done with a red crayon. But as I grew up, I found sketching and drawing very relaxing. When I sit down to draw, the world around me disappears. A tornado could rip my house apart and I would still be sitting there drawing. Off and on throughout my life i drew. If I had a spare moment and had nothing else to do I would sketch something. I particularly like to sketch the things around me. Animals, kids and so forth. I also love drawing the female face and body.
There are so many intricate lines and shapes to the female form. Another passion is drawing other people, even celebrities. I have always been fascinated by Marilyn Monroe. She was such a beauty. So I gave it a try and sat down and drew her face. I'm not a pro, but I think it looks pretty good.
I also drew a picture of what I thought my heroine Missy Green would look like. I have one of her as human, and one as a demon.
So I decided that for today's post I would share some of my artwork, including some book cover art with all of you.
Thank you for the gift of your art.
ReplyDeleteWow. You are quite talented :) Thanks for sharing your pictures. I love pencil art. It has a surreal quality to it. I actually prefer it in many ways to the photoshopped covers of the real pictures on backgrounds.
ReplyDeletewow! you are multi talented without a doubt!
