Drawing steampunk birdies #motorcityfurcon2016

2015-09-18 The Artist

these guys will be part of a larger piece eventually (where’s my darn protractor? I need circles dammit). they’re a pair of steampunk lovebirds and they’ll be back to back in front of a Zeppelin or set or gears or … Something steampunk related.

This guy is almost finished but started life as

He’s not quite a circle, a cilander, and a jelly bean but you can probably see those now that I’ve said it.

(btw it occurred to me that all @alkali_bismuth needs to be steampunk is a few artfully places gears)

And all lovebirds need a mate so here’s another lovebird who just happens to be a girl but didn’t have to be.

More of these birds will happen later cause I think they are cute.

@furreality commission spots still open

2015-09-15 The Artist

Do you want and cute and cuddly commission for @furreality 2015. Well it’s just 4 weekends away and you don’t want to put it off to long.

This is just a sketch but when he’s done he’d be a $40.00 pre-order in full color with lamination, badge clip, and e-mail scan. Yes, I scan and send you a copy so if/when traggity occurs and you lose or damage your badge it isn’t lost for good. You can print a copy.

I do this pre lamination so it doesn’t have any odd shiny spots from glare or reflection off the plastic.

Just message me through my contact page, e-mail me at laura@quackquackhonk.com, or direct msg me Twitter @qqh_designs

Friday sketch dump

2015-09-11 The Artist

What if bullfighting was bulls fighting?

day of the dead roughs

I had some sketches and figured since they were all a bit rough I’d give you a few this Friday post.

There isn’t anything particularly technique wise or product to talk about with these. You could do this work with a #2 pencil and some blank paper. I always carry a mechanical pencil (ok I do buy special soft lead for it), sketch paper, and an eraser with me. I’ve been known to sketch over diner, in the car, basically anywhere I go. This way, when I need to squeeze a second of work in, I can.

I guess the lesson with random sketches say is that all my stuff starts with sketches. It’s the bones of everything I do. These may go no further than sketches. Maybe, eventually, I’ll revisit these and decide they are good or maybe just the idea was good but I wasn’t good enough yet. I’ve revisited many ideas I wasn’t good enough to draw and turned the. Into fun pieces. It’s all practice and determination.

(I think I may be watching to much pokemon since this sounds a bit voice over moral ;))
