Friendly Card Game

Friendly Card Game by Amy Crook

Friendly Card Game by Amy Crook

I feel as though this should be renamed “Myths Playing Poker,” except neither one is really a specific mythical creature. I’m thinking of doing this up as a watercolor, but we’ll see how much motivation actually occurs. I do have another watercolor to work on, though, so it’s got a chance.

Edit: Got the watercolor done, you can see it here.

I drew this the other day when I was at a cafe with a friend, it was nice to have nothing else to do, because it encouraged me to make the piece much more finished and add a lot of detail rather than just doodle up a quick sketch.

Snuggly Feet

Snuggy Feet sketch by Amy Crook

Snuggy Feet sketch by Amy Crook

Just a little pencil sketch for the weekend, it’s two people cuddling though the foreshortening on the leftmost foot rather suggests a third very small-footed party has snuck in. Alas, that’s what I get for working from photo references.

Also, feet are a pain to draw.

A continuation of last week’s Twitter suggestion from @etherjammer, I give you a cute little vampire pumpkin. I am tempted to refine this into some kind of motif or dingbat, he’s just so adorable.

Today’s art is a startled little bobtail squid, who clearly wasn’t expecting to have his portrait sketched this morning. I’ve got a tiny painting of one of his cousins in the works, actually, which I’ll be getting back to once my last houseguest of the summer leaves and life returns to some value of normal.

Vampire Watermelon

I asked Twitter what they wanted me to doodle this weekend, and one of the few replies I got was from @etherjammer, who suggested vampire pumpkins & watermelon. Somehow even though the pumpkins sounded adorable and fun, I ended up wanting to do a watermelon instead, turning the stripes into creeping veins and giving it a rather pointed smile.

He’s a little like a headless horseman, only cuter. Sorry it’s late — busy week!

Just a little sketch for the weekend, this fish looks like he’s seen better days. His eyes came out a bit evil, so he’s rather like a zombie koi, lurking in your pond, craving your delicious brains.
