One of my New Year’s resolutions/goals what-have-yous was to draw or paint or otherwise create some sort of art every week and share it. I know it’s already the eleventh, so technically we’re halfway through the second week of January, but, here’s my art so far this year.
This first was done last in November, but whatever. I’m sharing it for the start of art sharing. 😀
I started this one with the girl in front of the portal thing last year, but well… I never finished it. Worked on it again this year, but couldn’t get it to look quite right. I don’t know. I may come back to it or not. Getting toddler proportions to look right without looking like an accident is proving difficult.
Same, I started this last year. I don’t know if this is a confidence thing or what, but I thought I’d share. I was starting to draw some sort of comic book style pose with the thoughts from How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way in my head. (That’s an affiliate link because hey, every little bit helps support my writing).
These one’s are 100% from this year. Mr. Six wanted to race me drawing a pirate ship, but Miss Two was trying to steal my pencil. And, later, I tried to draw her eating an apple. Her hands look both so huge and so tiny at the same time when she eats apples like that. All the little chubbiness.
And for week two of the New Year, I drew these ones last night and this morning. I’m trying to get something to show how I want to lay out the cover of Gold Valley Mysteries Book 5: Spokes and Suspicions. Wise Witches can read through Chapter 4.
If you’re thinking that the title changed from past emails and whatnot, you’re right.
I don’t want to follow too closely the theme of the Wheel of the Year pagan holidays because that doesn’t match the earlier half of my series. And well, also, I think that it’s harder for me to incorporate all the Wiccan holidays into all of the books. They’re happening, and Sophia might be more involved in things that she wasn’t aware of before, but that doesn’t mean the holidays are when the murders take place and it makes it a little hard for me to plot around.
While Book 4 does start out at the big Beltane celebration (AKA May Day) the rest… not so much.Â
The bike’s supposed to be crashed in this last one.
