I posted this a while to my instagram account, but loved it so much I wanted to put it up on here for you non-instagram folks : D

Girl with Fawn

Also, for reference, I believe these drawings date back to... February-ish?

August 28 · 6:00pm - 10:00pm

a one night only pop-up show at ronin gallery
4210 santa monica blvd
Los Angeles, CA

swoon gallery is proud to announce the upcoming exhibition, “get the lead out II”, featuring artist sketches, pen & ink drawings, watercolors and finished paintings.

incredible art comes from deep within the depths of one's imagination. this exhibition is about showcasing those ‘deep thoughts’ as they are sketched out on paper before becoming a final work. each artist pours his emotions into his work, and it all stems from a single thought, idea, dream or memory.... in essence, it is a moment in time captured on paper.

a wide array of artists & styles are shown in this exhibition. each demonstrates a unique vision and structure with their illustrative roots. artists were asked to submit a variety of works that show these beginnings and often tossed out "sketches" that are drawn before a final work is created.

artworks are priced at $500 or less, with at least one work priced at $100 or less from each artist.

please email hello@swoongallery.com to be placed on the preview list.

J is for Jackalope

Sorry for the unimaginative drawings lately! Been busy working on a new series of paintings, so by the time I get to my sketchbook, my creative manna is all out...

D is for Deer

New Painting- The Archer

I did this piece for the Hive's 4th Year Anniversary Show , based on the theme "Love and War in Hiveland."

The Deer Huntress

Idea for a painting for the Love/War avatar show at The Hive Gallery downtown for April... (showing with Girls Drawin' Girls).  Her antlers would be on fire as well...

Study, plus work in progress

Worked a little on my painting tonight; working out some details on one of the characters in my sketchbook and just a small color thumbnail just to hash out some basic sense of the piece.

Illustration Friday: Pale

Was working with colored pencils on cardboard, and was thinking how pretty white bones are both in form and in color against the texture of the brown paper surface.  I was thinking the colors and skeletons as being pale, but also trying to infuse it with a glow of color at the same time... enjoy! : D

Deer on text

So, just an update, I'll be away from my scanner for the next week or so for the holidays, so while I'll still be drawing every day, I won't have a chance to update until I get back! So, look for a slew of updates then!

In the meantime, have a great holiday everybody! It's almost been an ENTIRE year of posting! wow!! I can't believe I'm this close to the end- pretty incredible! I'm sure I'll do a longer post about it for #365 : )

Til then- enjoy!

The Deer Girl

FYI, my favorite sketchbook vendor, Ex Libris Anonymous , is gonna be in LA for the Unique Los Angeles Sale this weekend in Downtown Los Angeles!

Go buy some awesome handmade/ vintage sketchbooks!

Reindeer girl

lJust a random stream of consciousness drawing for tonight!

Deer

Inspired by a young buck we saw while walking in Muir Woods last week... (it was so Bambi-esque!)

Fawn

Quick stylized fawn for tonight- busy painting most of the evening. Can't wait to post some finished stuff soon!!

Day 27- color studies

Felt like using the ol' wacom tablet for this one; just trying to do some quick color and environmental sketches.
