Inspiration comes Standard

Look who got inspired in the wee hours of the morning. (It wasn't my fault! I blame William Ross!)

Excuse the poor quality, I have yet to learn how to use our high quality scanner. Do keep in mind I drew this very late in the night and I have since not touched it. I'll probably leave it alone, I like it like this.

This drawing was drawn on Strathmore acid free white sketch paper. Pencils used were Goldfaber sketch pencils, 2H and HB and dust free eraser. I used a reference photo for facial feature placement but about 90 % of the facial features drawn were from my mind.

What to say about this drawing? If I would try to explain it, some simply would not understand. This is a drawing from a character in a book my friend and I are writing. The girl is named Katelin de Luca, usually called Kate or Katie for short. All the other details will probably be revealed as I share the rest of the story with you all. ;)

Ehh, I guess I'll post some more drawings.

This drawing is alot cleaner than the last one. Yet again, it is a character from my book. The characters' name is Bridgette Stewart. She actually has blonde hair and blue eyes but I never take time out to color anything. The specifics of this drawing are pretty much the same as the last. Goldfaber pencils, same type of paper. I didn't draw this drawing when I was half asleep though. ;) I'm surprised I'm still happy with this, even when I drew it about three months ago. I also used a reference photo for this drawing but I put my own spin on the facial features.

Mm, well, that is all. :)

The Freethinker?

Did you start to wonder what Annette's blog title means? Well, she's often been called a freethinker, because she's a little different from everyone else.
