Mikayla as Cinderella

Did anyone else grow up with the Lesley Ann Warren version of the musical? I always thought her rags were prettier than the ballgown.

Riona

This is Riona, from yet another roleplay I have been doing with Joneko. She is a swan maiden and a bit of a snot. (Aren't all my characters? Wonder where they get that from...)

Potter Art!

These two pieces are for a Harry Potter style RP I have been doing with two great/awesome pals of mine. Normally I am not one for the fan art (unless we are talking about Sailor Moon, admittedly) but these were really fun to draw!

The top piece was inked/shaded by Joneko, my pen pal extraordinaire! She took my piddly sketch and made it look almost like... something good. (Outside of a theater, sitting on a grocery bag no less.) The characters are Tobias (it is SO weird to draw him young), Ryan and Mikayla.

The below piece is from today, it features Theo and Mikayla. All me, all silly.

Sketch Book Highlights Spring 2010, Part One

This ^ is not from a sketch book. These are "work doodles" on scraps of recycled paper. I wanted to share them because I think they are very silly looking. Below are some of the sketches from my actual sketch book:

Mikayla and Bosie.
Drawn in pen on April 16th.

Charlotte and James Cole.
(Alternate universe Ryan and Tobias)
Pencil. April 20th.

Mikayla says "HELLO"
Pen. April 20th

I really don't like putting that big old watermark on my tiny sketches. STILL: all images here belong to ME (as in (c) Bombshellcat Studio/Colleen Rauch 2010) so please do not use any of these images without permission.

Tango Face- WIP

Just something I am working on as of last night. Better scan when I figure out what I am doing.

Gertie's New Coat

Isn't she just lovely? This is Gertie of "Gerties New Blog for Better Sewing" , one of my personal favorite blogs! (My reference photo can be found in this entry, by the way.)


What is this picture made of? Well, admittedly, mostly mistakes. (You can see one on the black outlining of the skirt portion of the coat pretty obviously.) Here are the materials: black Paper Mate flair pen for the outline, Yasutomo stylist pens (brown, black and red) for the coloring of the hair, shoes and coat, grey Staedtler triplus fineliner for coloring the stockings- all on a 6x6 piece of smooth Bristol. (I need to invest in some thicker pens/markers for coloring, haha.)

Why did I draw this? I just felt like it! This is not a professional effort by any stretch of the imagination, I just wanted to draw something fun today.
