Wood Sprite Flashing by Amy Crook

I’ll round out my weekend of naked sketches with this impish little sprite, sitting on a branch and flashing the world. I guess he just didn’t feel like putting leaves anywhere but his hair today.

Mom’s wedding went really smoothly and was lovely, and I survived mostly unscathed, except for a blister on one heel from the new shoes. It was very small and had just immediate family, and nobody dropped anything, not even their lines.

Nude Man Reaching

Another nude sketch today, his hands & feet are a little out of proportion but I really liked the line his body made in my head, and that’s what I tried hardest to get out onto the paper. Hands and feet are always so fiddly, when I’m just doodling I don’t always want to erase a dozen times to get them right.

Wedding today, wish me luck! Not that I have much to do other than stand around and smile and look awkward in my dress, but I’m getting about socialified out and there’s still a few more days of people in my future before I can go back to my hermit life.

Nude Girl doodle

I’m busy with prep for Mom’s wedding, so have doodle! It’s a nude woman curled in a fetal position, looking over her shoulder at something that displeases her. Inspired by any number of iconic anime, tv and movie moments, though they usually do a better job of hiding the nipples. Enjoy!

Country Mouse, City Mouse

Country Mouse, City Mouse by Amy Crook

Country Mouse, City Mouse by Amy Crook

This is another tiny bedside-notebook doodle, this one inspired in part by the Aesop’s Fable, and in part by one of my not-so-secret addictions, the Facebook game MouseHunt. I imagine the country mouse is from somewhere far away from Gnawnia and its strange mice and determined hunters with their bizarre traps, while the city mouse would fit right in with the other denizens of the kingdom.

If Wishes Were Fishes

If Wishes Were Fishes by Amy Crook

If Wishes Were Fishes by Amy Crook

This doodle springs from a conflation of two sayings my Mom used to use, “If wishes were fishes, we’d live in the sea,” and “If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride.” Somehow my brain mixed the two up, and we have this doodle — “If wishes were fishes, then beggars would ride.” I went Seussian with the fish, giving the whole thing a cheerful, if surrealistic, feel.

Monster Under the Bed

This is another wee bedside doodle, this one dipping its toe into the horror genre. I swear to this day a part of me still believes in things that lurk under the bed — how else to explain the sound of something sliding against the metal frame when both cats are asleep, and in sight?

Dancing Wood Sprites

Dancing Wood Sprites by Amy Crook

Echoing back to my very first daily art post, I sketched up some little dancing wood sprites in my next-to-the-bed notebook. I’m going to end up putting some of these guys in a painting or two soon, so I wanted to get a little more practice in with their long, slender limbs and angular features. I imagine these two are just a part of a big circle of dancing fae celebrating the turning of the seasons or some such.
