Crazy Eight

Well….if I had my act together I would’ve posted this on Monday and then I could’ve called it “Mushy Monday”….but I was busy.



I morphed two pictures together for this one.  This is my mom’s side of the family and well….I have a crazy Aunt. 



Maybe she’s not the the only crazy one.  I think we all get a little “touched” when we are together.



I needed to do something different than the goofy pose drawings I’ve done before.

• Wacky Wednesday
• Theatrical Thursday
• Freaky Friday

I haven’t done any stripes yet and well….I’ve always been a big fan of stripes.



My kid sister in the background got an afro because well….I had a lot of white space to fill.  I think she wears it well.  Not too sure if I like the mouths here without lips.  It looks a little Munster-like.

Freaky Friday….Foto Fun

You’ve probably seen this picture on here before since it’s one of my favorite shots.  Many attempts were made to capture all these girls air-borne….let me tell you!



Drew them each out individually the template-way.



I really want to explore watercolor pencils more….but haven’t a clue what I’m doing.  Don’t know a thing about the boundaries of the pencils either.  I know I’ll be trying my hand at more than just “clothes & hair” in the w/c pencils, just gotta figure out what to draw.



It was discussed that the watercolor pencils play well with regular colored pencils, so I tried that here….but you can hardly tell!



I was almost going to finish this off the way I did the butterfly drawing, but I thought that might be too boring.



This turned out kinda cute.  I’m not sure if this is done yet…cuz there is a lot of white space up there.

I’m enjoying these Photo Phun pictures (Wacky, Theatrical)…there easy and mindless….meaning I don’t have to stress over line quality.  That Photo-Realism stuff sure uses that left side of my brain more.  It can get exhausting!! Haha

Theatrical Thursday

I had so much fun doing Wacky Wednesday last week, I thought I’d try it again.



Looked thru my files for goofy photos and came across this one.  There are twenty-two “characters” in this picture.  Oh Yeah…the fun I can have with all these innocent people!!



Instead of coloring in the clothes with watercolor pencils…it was time to use my long-lost markers!



Tried to use every single color in the rainbow.  I think I succeeded.



I am “on the fence” with whether or not I should put eyes in.  What do you think?



As is my habit…used more of the warmer colors than the cooler ones.  The mix seems to work here.
I wonder if anyone knows just how many bunny ears are up there?

Wacky Wednesday

It all started because I dared to attempt two portrait color-sketches at the same time.



And my “real job” has been crazy.  New instruments, new technology, new codes!  Oh-MY!



My focus ran away and hid.  She was nowhere to be found.  It was time to coax her out with some color! Some fun!  Some light-heartedness! 



Since I wanted to do something easy I brought out my watercolor pencils.  I like the way the colors turned out.  For a few years now when we go to take our family picture at the end of our vacations….we do a totally goofy pose to counter the more stylish one, as seen above.



Some of us have more fun than others!  Probably because the leap between normal and crazy isn’t as far for them.



It was nice that my dear dog got in the picture as well.  We’re usually doing many re-takes cuz she likes to wander off.



Now, I’ve never had any one head-over-heels…..rather…. heels-over-head in these wacky shots!  I like it!!



Here’s to a Wacky Wednesday everyone!  May you allow yourself some time to goof off!
