My mommy person bought me these awhile ago:
She bought them because you can use them on fabric, then seal them in. Her quilting art list folk love them.
I figured I’d start with testing them out on paper. But I don’t even like wasting my cheaper colored pencils. And I’m such an art n00b that I’m trying to decide what to do with them. Another cartoon’y girl… or try to practice and branch out into something new. In the mean time, they’re sitting in their pretty tin staring me in the face like “Hi, gonna use us yet?”. Argh. Need inspiration.
Back to my usual cartoon’y girl sketches… sort of. Little different styles, slightly. Mostly stayed offline today due to the storms, but when I did finally get computer online, spent it drawing these. Now sleepy time, so figured I’d post them instead of trying to do any more work on them. And thank goodness the power actually never went off — new Vampire Diaries tonight. Still better safe than sorry, so computer got a break tonight. The world is ending, I swear — California is nothing like normal lately.

She sees you! I’m sure I’ll touch it up more later someday, but eh… for today I was done.
By popular demand — okay, because one person on MySpace asked in a comment so when’s the painting of this picture come out when I changed my picture (he’d liked my self portrait last year) — I bring you self portrait version 2.0. It looks better than the real picture of me that it’s based on! I should have kept editing it to look right, but if I look cuter in it than in the actual picture who am I to edit it more? 
I was working on Christmas presents — yes late ones given I’m mailing them (one is done, two almost are — Saturday or Sunday = my self imposed mailing deadline). I had to stop because it was too late to sew given how loud the machine can be. And even if it wasn’t — well I was getting frustrated as my hands hurt, cramped up, and I couldn’t cut or sew anywhere near straight — not that I can normally but it was really bad. Sooo, instead of pissing myself off, I did something else — play with the art program I don’t usually play with: ArtRage. Made this, she’s clearly not done, a work in progress, unless I forget about her 
I was just bored. So… a silly purple haired faerie girl, with no name. Made in Twisted Brush
So I do plan to get back to sketching silly cartoon like cheesy faces or to sewing or doing other artsy / crafty things. But for now, I suppose NaNoWriMo counts as my artsy thing of the moment. It IS my major project of the moment, after all. When I am finished with it, it’s onto Christmas presents. So, my current NaNoWriMo count, assuming the widget is working as you view this post —
