Uncreated Conscience

My parents gave me an iPad for Christmas, so naturally I’ve been going a little app crazy. Discovered Sketchbook, which is a pretty decent drawing/painting app, except for the fact that drawing with a fingertip is hard! I haven’t done that since preschool!

You can tell when I’m unable to write when a ton of drawings start cropping up instead. I recently got both Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Corel Painter 12 and have been experimenting with both. I find it easier to sketch/ink in Photoshop, but easier to colour in Painter. I was trying out the “Real Watercolour” [...]

A kiss between two of my characters from a story I’m writing. (I haven’t gotten to the kiss yet.) I’m not entirely pleased with how this one turned out; I may redo it later. Yay for digital art! I think I’ve finally started to get the hang of drawing directly in Photoshop, instead of sketching [...]

This weekend I wrote 3600 words of Victorian porn and then illustrated it. (Seriously though, I was blushing hard as I wrote it. And nothing more unchaste than hand-holding happens!)

What I Did On My Summer Holidays, a doodle-essay by S. Jae-Jones This is pretty much my dream come true. Some day the Doctor will show up in his TARDIS and whisk me, Bear, and White-Harp away on adventures across time and space. Also, I needed a new desktop background, so I drew one.

I’ve been working on a drawing commission for a friend of mine this weekend, and usually I have something else on the telly to focus on while I work and of course, I’ve been watching Doctor Who Confidential. And honestly, I had to jot off this quick doodle because seriously…David Tennant’s hair is truly mesmerizing.

Continuing my artsy mood, here is a pen drawing I’ve been working on. It’s actually a drawing of the 3 protagonists from…my novel (no, no, no, I did promise to be more open with my own writing). It’s still a work in progress, as you can clearly see the bridge on which they’re standing is [...]

So I couldn’t think of anything to blog about today, but that might be because I’m not in a wordy mood. I’m in a doodly mood instead. These are random doodles from my sketchbook. I was riding home on the subway and sketched the passengers. Um, representations may not be exactly true to life. (My [...]

A few days ago, I doodled this sketch of The Kitchen Girls, mostly experimenting with underlying shapes. Wicked Cool Riley is an oval, The Inimitable Bex is a diamond, and yours truly is a rectangle. Then I decided to go ahead and quickly paint Bex. I shifted her pose to make it less stiff, changed [...]
