Alex Benedict by Amy Crook
A few of you might be aware that I’m doing NaNoWriMo this year — it’s my 6th year & 5th win (I passed 50K on the 25th). I haven’t titled this year’s novel yet, but in the inevitability of being an artist writing about the same thing every day, I decided to do a sketch of my main character, Alexander Benedict.
Since I was drawing him as procrastination for actual writing, he’s in the client meeting notebook I use, which is a proper sketchbook that got wet at some point in its life and has warped pages — perfect for taking notes in, not so great for art I want to scan and/or keep later. Oops.
Alex Benedict, 4″x7″ pencil on sketchbook paper, not for sale.

Fairy studies by Amy Crook
Just a couple of sketches I did for a tiny painting I’m working on. I’m still not totally happy with either one, so who knows what the final painting will be like!

Hedgehog Hammock by Amy Crook
When I showed him this sketch, my friend Jeff asked, “Is that a really small person, or a really huge hedgehog?”
My response now is the same as it was then — whatever makes the viewer smile more.
Have a great weekend!

Squid sketch by Amy Crook
I found this hiding among my old scans today, I believe he was a little sketch I did on a greeting card for a friend. There’s just something fun about drawing the curl and sway of tentacles!

Friendly Card Game

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
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.

Vampire Pumpkin by Amy Crook
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.
