An Art Update?

Believe it or not, I *have* had time to draw out here. It's not much, but 20 minutes here and there certainly adds up, and being sick for the past two days has helped with the final push on a couple of drawings.

This is for EB...her horse Copper was out of commission for most of the last month, so I drew a picture of him. It turned out pretty good, methinks--now to bite the bullet and cut it out of my sketchbook so she can frame it. *gulp*

 

And then there's the Rascally horse...this one was fun. I love the markings of Appaloosas, but actually drawing them is sometimes a challenge. Fortunately this one was just fun rather than challenging.

I've done a lot of doodles and sketches (mostly of people's faces, and there's a piece of paper floating around in the barn with Remington on it), but nothing really noteworthy. I've been asked to do a portrait and another horse drawing, though--hopefully I'll have them done before the requesters leave. ^^;

There's also been a joke idea going around where I would write and illustrate a book called 'Darron-Specific Problems' that covers the issues that our very own Darron experiences (inspired by a story told by the man himself and EB's deadpanned 'that sounds like a Darron-specific problem'). That one is still in the workings; we'll see if anything actually becomes of it. First I have to figure out how to draw the goober--do you know how hard it is to draw people one knows?

In other news, I broke down and bought a Kindle Fire HD today. :3 Still have to wait for it to get here, but I'm expecting it by next week. I've never had a tablet of any kind before, and the Kindle Fire seemed to give the most bang for its buck (I've been researching and debating on this for almost a year--much thought went into it). To say I'm excited is a bit of an understatement. Heh. So here's to the first tablet! And hopefully more time can be spent on drawings and such in the future.
