Ugly Christmas Sweaters


Life drawing madness - I'm back in! I used to run a local life drawing session for a few years and I was at the art centre every week, drawing away. But it got to be too much with work and I gave it up. Now I barely go which is a shame because it's always great practice.  BUT! There are so many online life drawing sites that I've been filling up my sketchbook with new drawings. It's been a blast. It's not quite the same of course, but I can draw in my PJs and that sort of thing always makes me happy. Here's a few links for those interested:







Here's a new Christmas graphics set I released this week. I don't actually have any ugly Christmas sweaters but I think I might want one or two now. This set is available on Etsy (without seamless backgrounds) and with them on CreativeMarket. Soon to be available at The Hungry JPEG too.

Is anyone else excited about Christmas yet? I am. LOL. It's ridiculous. I can't wait to decorate later this month.

Happy PPF everyone! Have a wonderful weekend :)

  1. Yes it definitely more fun being a life class and sometimes the model would walk around and we had to sketch him/her but I will try those sites you mentioned. Those Christmas sweaters are not that ugly, I keep meaning to buy one and maybe make it uglier by sewing Trump's head on it. Happy PPF

  5. Your drawings are absolutely wonderful. What talent! As for your question: the cards are all hand made originals, some are watercolors, and some are made with die cuts and other goodies.

  7. thanks for the links! I never thought about online life drawing sites ... I am NOT excited about Christmas, in fact I don't even want to think about it yet. Could have something to do with the fact that it's my turn to cook for the big family meeting, about 30 people. I get stressed out just thinking about it, so I don't ;-)

  8. Your life drawings are fabulous. I'll check out the links, however drawing people freaks me out. Ha!
    P.S. I adore your ugly sweaters... I have none this year. May need to hit up the thrift store. :)
