PostHeaderIcon Sketched: Purple Gaze

I’ve always had a deep passion for painting and illustrating (basically, anything art), but it’s been years since the last time I got out my sketchbook. A couple of weeks ago, I bought a set of water-color pencils and have been experimenting. I’m hoping I can make this fit into my life again. Still super rusty, but excited to do more.

Any suggestions for inspiration? I usually have some sort of inspiration, but this was a spontaneous, practice-sort-of piece.

    I think it’s awesome! Rusty or not I see the talent. I love the expression on her face. What was your inspiration? I can’t draw to save my life and it’s something I always wish I could do. Trust me, I really can’t…lol

    I’ve started doing the same thing too, but have yet to be so bold as to put them on my blog. Get inspired by what you love (fashion, technology, people), just hang out in a park in NYC I’m sure you’ll find lots of inspiration all over the city.

    I always like to take snapshots on my camera phone of things that strikes me as interesting or pretty for inspiration later. Love the drawing, it looks like a space age version of you!

  • Sara says:

    So proud of you! This is way better than the picture you drew for my girls. I guess watercolor is better than crayons! ;)

    Draw me with the purple lipstick I’ve been dreaming of. It might be the closest I ever get to it!

    Excellent use of color! Maybe your inspiration will be unexpected-color….

  • Erin says:

    So fun! I’m glad that you’re sketching again! I just started last weekend myself :)

  • Sheena says:

    I think it looks wonderful and I wish I were as talented as you are with sketching! I hope you continue to sketch and find things to inspire you.

    Saweet! If you sketch up a picture of J. Money, you know he’d put it in his blogging lair! hint hint ;)

  • Lovely! Perhaps it’s the Asian in me but I see a little reminiscence of anime in the eyes ;) . Whenever I sketch my biggest inspiration is music, tbh.

  • Wow this is gorgeous. I always wish I had an artistic talent like yours! What about a peacock for inspiration? I’m biased though- it’s one of my favorite animals!

    Oh, so exciting. I absolutely love the colors. I’ve been missing painting and drawing for a long time, but I am never able to fit it in. How are you finding the time? I will be inspired by you! :)

  • joyce says:

    So cute! Love the colors! Was great meeting you at Jax’s party. I bet I’ll be seeing you around:) You’re so lucky you got to go to the S&TC 2 premiere. I had dinner plans already so couldn’t make it, but was dying to go.
