poor bunny wabbit

This was originally just a pencil doodle in my sketchbook from a few months ago (I'm thinking March when spring was just arriving and I was in full bunny-mode)

I feel bad for the guy, but think it's utterly adorable! I may make a print for myself and put it in a teeny tiny frame.

more super fun ink drawings. 

I'm really loving these. Normally I like my drawings to be simple, light, and airy; but I'm enjoying the heaviness (or maybe busyness?) of them.

overgrown

just been experimenting (and having fun!) with some inked line drawings. I have a whole page of a bristol sheet covered with these- needless to say I took many little breaks because my hand started to ache from the repetition of the circles.

I reeeaalllllly want to re-open my etsy shop. I want to create a steady stream of these quirky fun drawings I'm always doodling in my sketchbook and make some nice prints of them.

I'm so excited at the thought (!!!) that I even bought some cute 4x6 frames today so I can take some snazzy photos of the prints.

Now back to the drawing table... stay tuned for more!

more flower designs

Just what the title says- more flower designs! I'm enjoying these & kinda wish they were real!

inspiration

These are just a few designs I came up with recently. I imagine these plants and flowers growing in a make believe garden- how amazing would that be? I'm really liking the process I've gone through in creating them. I was first inspired by the plant that started to grow from my plantable seed bookmark I got at Barnes & Noble! You can see this below- the sprouts are super tiny but they are there. This picture was from about a month ago, I should take a more recent one, it's getting unbelievably big!



Since the seeds started to sprout I've been doodling imaginary flowers in my sketchbook. I love these little designs but haven't quite found a purpose for them besides my own amusement. I think maybe doing some stationary/greeting cards/prints and starting my etsy shop back up once I get going with it? But until then I will keep enjoying and drawing these quirky designs!

sketchbook doodles

In between sketches for illustration friday & fun springtime birds & bunnies I've been doodling out swirly designs and imaginary flora. I have pages and pages filled with this sort of thing. I finally started to ink some of my more favorite designs on bristol paper this evening. Here are just a few of the swirls!
