Don't mess with girls who wear glasses!

I love drawing independent women that have a fun twist to them, and what better way to do that than with Wonder Woman.


I was playing around with 2 different layouts with my Wonder Woman. I do prefer the top one, but tried out a fun sun ray background with text in the burst for the second pic. Hope you all enjoy!

Wicked through and through...

I've been obsessed the Wicked Soundtrack and thought I would create an illustration. Inspired by one of the bittersweet lyrics from the song "No Good Deed": 

"Well, look at what well-meant did: 
All right, enough - so be it
So be it, then:
Let all Oz be agreed
I'm wicked through and through"


Since all the Oz books are so enchanting, I felt it was only right that the illustration have a luminous story book quality to it. Therefore, I depicted this Wicked scene by creating some paper-cut characters and green glitter.
Nothing gets the creativity flowing, like some cut out flying monkeys.

Oh Snap! Crackle and Pop!


Another round of The Sketchbook themed drawing challenge. This week's challenge was recreating cereal icons/mascots to your own style. I decided to redraw up Rice Krispies "Snap, Crackle, and Pop!".

Since I had recently gone through a "My name is Earl" marathon, one character named "Joy" stuck out in my mind. She repeatedly says "Oh Snap!'. I had to combine the two and create this street slanged cereal branding that 'POP'ed into my head.
  


The Sketchbook siteis created by David Reddick and can be found here. David is an cartoonist/artist and I also highly recommend checking out his fantasy comic Legend of Bill.

Supergirl


My version of the charming and daydreaming Supergirl.
Sometimes a girl just needs a little peace and quiet...and some flying.

On The Sketchbook site, there are themed challenges every month and we get to see everyone's interpretation on the theme. This weeks challenge was creating your own version of Sea Monkeys inspired by the original ad.
