Doodles of Bugs

Not much to talk about other than "hey here's some sketches I did in the last few days and yeah my style's been changing again. What the heck is up with that?"

 

 

Oh also this little swirly haired girl is one of my friend's characters we were just messing around with. We can't decide which little cheek design to use. I am leaning more towards the triangles myself. We might be doing a few comics together since both of us by ourselves are pretty bad at story telling.

 

A gift from Maggie

        Today I got my package from my friend Voodoo Maggie in Oregon. Boy was I looking forward to this. She wanted me to take photos of the package opening process because of how proud she was of it. Little did I know just how insane it was...

So it starts out nice with another one of the prizes that she sent me. A cute crocheted pumpkin simply wrapped in one sheet of tissue paper. But then what is this?

A box wrapped in Michaels coupons. That doesn't seem too bad for packaging things...

Stickers. And duct tape. 

Who packages things in duct tape?!

 

Lucky for me the tape started ripping in a neat line after a while so I could skip unwrapping all of it. It seemed to be one continuous piece.

Under the box was a small glitter covered dinosaur.

More tissue and tape. This time just normal packing tape. Which might actually be worse.

Just showing how much tape was on this thing.

Another layer of packaging.

 

Why would there be a yarn ball? I don't use yarn. But I know what to do with this. I gave the ball to my dog and let her do what she loves to do. 

 Ten minutes later and the yarn was out of my way.

I think Maggie just wanted to get rid of some of her junk she didn't want anymore.

This wad also had a small mushroom in it. Which is pretty cool.

Too much tissue paper. 

Okay?

At this point I am wondering if there is even anything in here at all...

After all of this, I got a teeny tiny yeti toy.  Here is a picture just to show how much packaging went into getting this thing to me.

And finally here is a close up of the yeti. Was it worth it?

I promise that she usually does not use this much tape.

Copy Catting

One day I woke up and was determined to try out a coloring style based of the art of a friend of mine. Sometimes it's good to try to be inspired or imitate a style because that actually makes me try to think about how to color things in a different way. I also threw in a couple of her themes that she puts in every picture she has. She is still better than me at drawing flowers and moths.

Here are some of her drawings that I was looking at:

Furry Stuff

Not much to update with today. Here's a simple doodle of one of my friends who keeps designing herself as an opossum. No she does not consider herself a furry. Yes she calls herself a tool.
