Slave Leia

With all the buzz regarding the new Star Wars, I thought I'd do something theme related. I've been playing around with well known characters lately, plus I received a prompt for Leia in a drawing app I've been using. Of course, as most everyone knows, the most famous is slave Leia, so I went for that.

Alice and the white rabbit

I've always enjoyed the story of Alice in wonderland, probably because of all the visual possibilities it stirs up in your imagination.

I've done a number of drawings and sketches around this theme, and I never seem to get tired of it. Though I'd have to say, it is only one of a number of themes that catches my attention.

In the Works

Since I have finished the rough pencil sketches of my first project, I thought I should begin sketching out another story that I have been working on. I can't seem to focus enough on one project from beginning to end without beginning another, which is probably why it takes me so long.

This is Sam, she is very athletic and goal oriented. She is getting ready to strikeout on her own to fulfill her destiny and, oh yeah, she's a mermaid.

My first story is a bit dark and not necessarily for the kids. This story is geared more for tweens and younger. It covers all of the basics, relatable characters, teamwork, conflict resolution, etc... My hope is to finish these 2 projects, plus a children's book I have in the works, within the next year.
