Setting It Free

Setting It Free by Amy Crook
Just a little sketch for Saturday, an experiment in figure drawing. I didn’t feel like repeating the “reaching for the unattainable” post again, so this time I gave him something to set free. Let’s hope it comes back, and brings him some clothes.

Bobtail Squid

Bobtail Squid sketch by Amy Crook
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

Vampire Watermelon by Amy Crook
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.

Headless Bunny by Amy Crook
He’s a little like a headless horseman, only cuter. Sorry it’s late — busy week!

Absinthe Snape

Absinthe Snape by Amy Crook
A while back I did some silly doodles as gifts for online friends, and this one ended quite polished. I think it was the absinthe glass, which just wanted a level of fine detail to go with its fine contents, plus the style was just fun to draw. There’s just something about drawing Snape that’s engaging for me, with his unrelenting black clothes and scowling face and big nose.
I’ve never actually tried absinthe myself — I have a friend that’s a big fan of it since it got re-legalized (something about lead pipes driving people crazy rather than wormwood), but he never manages to pony up and give me some to try. Perhaps this year I’ll make it to his absinthe bar at Dickens Faire in SF.

Tattered Koi

Tattered Koi sketch by Amy Crook
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.

Reading Under a Tree

Reading Under a Tree by Amy Crook
This is a little doodle I did thinking about one of my Works in Progress that’s kinda undecided about where I’m going with it. Right now it’s just a blue sky and some dark brown earth and nothing else, but I actually sort of like the effect all by itself. Still, I like this image with its loose lines and the arching tree over the studious figure.
I’ve always liked drawing trees, especially the leafless winter skeletons with all their intricate fractal shapes. It’s like jagged lace to see the bits of sky between the branches, the shadows reflecting inexact details warped by the ground’s topography.
