Golly do I have a varied update for you all this week!
I've been working on a new piece - I have been trying to do a sketch a day, but when I sketched this piece, I just wanted to carry on and on and on..! The only reason I'm not yet currently colouring it is due to a lack of copic sketch markers for base colours - I'm really into using a layer of markers for a solid base, and then colouring over that with pencil crayons. So so fun and satisfying!
I have however done a colour test which is shown below - this was a photocopy of the ink roughly coloured in (really really roughly as you will see!) just so I can get an idea of what it will turn out like. I'm totally stuck on the background, however I'm pretty happy with the colours :)
Also, in college on Thursday I had a really good idea for how to make clip on earrings. I dont have my ears pieced but I adore earings, I have to say - they are so elegent and pretty. I would love to wear them... My boyfriends mother got me, a while back, a matching earring / necklace set. I've never been able to wear the earrings, but this week I've experimented and last night, I finally made them into a pair of clip ons! Well.. they dont "clip" as such.. maybe "grip" ons is more accurate!
Nevertheless, please please offer me feedback and critique on the earrings. This is obviously a first attempt, there are bits I'm not happy with, and I would love to be able to refine my technique so I can make more grip-on earrings in general for sale on my etsy site :D
Cookies to anyone who read all that, now, enjoy the art! :P

Hullo there :)
This post is a dump of stuff that I've sketched / done recently, or things that have simply just been lost until now in my sketchbooks! Enjoy :D Commentary under each image :)

This is an ACEO to accompany one I posted last week on Deviantart ( link ). I dont think I'll post it on DeviantART though. Even though its a sister piece, I'm not very happy with how it turned out. The scan hasnt done it much justice, to be honest, but even so! I tried to make this person look older... but it didnt work very well. At least I dont think so. Still, I guess its practice snd practice leads to improvement :)
Gosh, I drew this months ago, and found it today. I actually really like this! The only reason I didnt post it anywhere was because I fancied a background on it, but never got around to doing one, and so.. it just got forgotten :S But, this is a new character, Mea (pronounced like "Mia", just spelt differently), and I very much enjoyed designing her character. Fingers crossed I can make it a little more refined in the future :D 
This one was one I really wanted to finish, but I fear I really screwed up on the skin so I'm really unsure whether to progress with it or not. Its been sat in my sketchbook for a week while... This is Irumae, sister of my character Aung. She has a sad story which.. I hope one day to write.
I still see this in my minds eye... dark hair, bright eyes, and a gleaming teal dragonscale dress... maybe I should just finish it for the heck of it! However I am also not sure what to do for a background - I cant think of one but it would be such a shame to leave it lacking!
Ooh, I sketched this in February :) I wanted to draw something really dynamic looking, and to me, something as fey as a nymph or faerie, something along those lines, strikes me as a being very lithe, flexible, and dynamic. So I had fun sketching this one, simple though it is!
Well hello there - its been a long long time since I posted on here, but now, I plan to reopen my art blog, and stick to it ;) Here I will, as I once did, post WIPs, sketches, and other works that wont be seen anywhere else. I'll start you off with something I drew in memory of my late grandmother. One of her favourite flowers were lilies...
I have actually coloured most of this image but its unfinished as yet. I hope one day I can pick it up and complete it, when I feel I am skilled enough to :)
Enjoy, and welcome back :)
