Just a silly bit of smooching I drew for a holiday card exchange. They’re definitely enjoying their holiday cheer!

Zombie Santa sketch by Amy Crook
And here we’re back to coloring book doodles for Saturday, heh. Zombie Santa has a big sack of brains for the nice undead hordes. The naughty ones get shotgunned.

Zen Blue Cup

Zen Blue Cup by Amy Crook, $89
No optimists or pessimists here, this cup’s always full. In the same set as yesterday’s crimson, I have this amazing clear teal that my scanner absolutely refuses to pick up properly, so it comes out more of a royal blue. I used the same black to create the nice dark shadow to contrast with the shine on this simple blue cup. I’m a bummed I can’t find these watercolors anywhere anymore, but I used the excuse of running low to buy myself some very nice tubes for future use.
Zen Blue Cup, watercolor on paper, $89 with free shipping.

Zen Red Bird
Thursday, December 15th, 2011
Zen Red Bird by Amy Crook
I was enjoying the pure, rich red pigment of one of my red Japanese watercolors, and I decided to paint something simple and zen. I added in just a touch of black for the bright eye and dark beak to create a seasonal red bird, but I think the essence of the image is in that first red swoosh down the bird’s back. It makes a good reminder to keep it simple this holiday season, and not go flying right out of the frame trying to do too much.

Gingerbread Skellington sketch by Amy Crook
I don’t know if you’ve seen these awesome cookie cutters, but I couldn’t resist sketching a little homage in some poor unsuspecting soul’s coloring book. It’s like holiday cheer, really!

Tentacle Monster Sketch

Tentacle Monster sketch by Amy Crook
I saved this guy for Tuesday for obvious reasons. I’m not sure if he’s Lovecraftian or just really creepy, but he was fun to draw, like a Van Gogh sunflower gone very, very wrong.

Evil Wreath Muppet Thingy sketch by Amy Crook
What? They can’t all have awesome titles. It’s been a busy weekend of coughing up my lungs and selling coloring books on Etsy, so you’ll be getting more coloring book sketches for the foreseeable future. Enjoy!
