Blog has moved

Hi everyone! I haven't posted in a while but I'm not dead! I've just changed locations and am on Tumblr now, if you're interested in following me you can find me here http://brittsgraphics.tumblr.com/.

IF: Freeze

New IF! This weeks topic was freeze so I decided to make an illustration based on Hans Christian Anderson's story The Snow Queen. This actually turned out better than I expected, but I want more water color practice, so I may make some more illustrations for this story in the future. 

Downton Abbey Doodles: A Bunch of Branson and some Thomas

Wow! We're already a week into August and I haven't posted anything new yet! Thus I am remedying that with some of my better Branson head studies: 

And a sad Thomas with no one to smoke and scheme with!

IF: Carry

Here is this weeks new Illustration Friday submission, this weeks topic was "carry" and I originally planned to make an elephant procession, but got too caught up in the design to the point where I couldn't fit anymore animals or people in without them blocking the view of the architecture, but I'm happy with how it turned out nonetheless. 

Old work: Figure Drawing

While I was digging around in my portfolio today, I found some old pen and ink work from my figure drawing class last semester that I never got around to posting. So here it is! (Better late than never!) Also my scanner cut off some of the images so that's why there are some missing limbs!

I think this last one turned out pretty solid, I don't know why but it's much easier to draw people from the back, less detail?

Animal Drawing Practice: Horses

Just sharing a few horse studies.I've been trying to think of ways to get more animal drawing practice after the workshop, and found that the website that I use to to practice figure drawing, also has slides of animals to practice from! I mostly focused on horses so far, because we were given a brief lecture on how to go about creating equine animals. Hopefully I remembered enough of his suggestions.

IF: Lost

Yay! My Illustration Friday entry is up early this week! This weeks topic is "lost", and although I originally intended to draw someone lost in the woods, it actually came out looking more like someone "lost in thought" in the woods, which works too. But Ughhh! I really need to work on my figures!
