a major sweet tooth

Lately i have been lacking drawing inspiration. ugh. I havent been drawing as much as i should. On a brighter note, i have recently made two sales in my Pretty Clementine shop. yes! Also, i think lately i havent been focusing mainly on drawing but more on my walk with God. Ive been rethinking things and trying to get myself back on track. What does that mean? Well, just praying more and finding out what my purpose is in life. I know i want to be someone great, not just great, but a great woman of God. Im looking forward to finding that out. The other day i decided to rearrange my room. worst.. idea.. ever. My back is still hurting and my room looks like it just threw up. *sad faced*. So i got a ton of cleaning to do, which is actually fine since ill be having a spot at our church flea market this Saturday. Anywho, while rearranging my room, i stumbled across a book i was reading 4-5 years ago. i seriously forgot all about it! So maybe rearranging my room wasnt such a bad idea? haha. Well, i found it in perfect timing because i have been (also) lacking inspiration in God. My spiritual life was emptying out. I wasnt feeling like i belong. The book i found is called "Twelve Extraordinary Women" and im so glad i bought it 4-5 years ago. It brought a smile to my face and all i thought of was *thank you Jesus*! The book talks about ladies from the bible and their dedication to God. How inspiring is that? It felt perfect, like, exactly what i needed. These ladies (and God) will give me the inspiration to draw near to him. im excited. So, that is basically my current read!

"Scripture never discounts the female intellect, downplays the talents and abilities of women, or discourages the right use of women's spiritual gifts. But whenever the Bible expressly talks about the marks of an excellent woman, the stress is always on femine virtue. The most significant women in Scripture were influential not because of their careers, but because of their character. The message these women collectively give is not about "gender equality"; its about true feminine excellence. And this is always exemplified in moral and spiritual qualities rather than by social standing, wealth, or physical appearance"

What have you been inspired by lately?

side note:
This is actually the lastest drawing i have done, which was a drawing for a friend. (i forgot to snap a shot after finishing the hair, haha).

p.s. I want to do a little giveaway on my blog when i reach 25 followers. All 25 (or more?) will
automatically be in it and i will do a random drawing to see who wins the "package" i come up with (which includes my artwork and lots of fun stuff). We'll talk about this later :)

Disney Couples

So i am ALWAYS inspired by Disney and decided to use Disney couples as the base of my drawings lately. I recently whipped up a drawings of Roger and Jessica Rabbit, Carl and Ellie Fredricksen and Ariel and Eric.
All three prints are available in my store! Are there any Disney couples in particular that you want to see a drawing of? Please leave a comment and let me know :)

Tuesday Sketches

Today i decided to do some sketches..
The new Finding Dory poster has been floating around on IG and Facebook today, so i might as well draw the lovely Dory herself.
I also drew Pinocchio and Figaro! I mean... of course! Pinocchio is my absolute favorite! AND Figaro happens to be my best friends favorite, so what better way than to draw the both of them together :) yay!

 

 

Hulk

Almost a year ago, The Avengers movie came out (May something)! I think i saw it about 5 times in the theater. a little too much? haha no! Same record i have with seeing Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Yeah, im really into movies. haha.
Well for my friends birthday last year i had drawn him his favorite character from The Avengers, Hulk. This was tricky, because, well.. i have never drawn the Hulk before. I posted the final drawing on my Instagram, but wanted to show you some of the process.

 

Edward Unfinished

I began a new drawing of my version of non other than Edward Scissorhands and Kim.
But i have yet to finish it. Not sure if i have ever posted it, but heres the unifinished drawings.

 

Old Sketches

 

Found some old sketches in my phone.

These were sketched digitally using an old Hanven Tablet.

I think this was from a couple years ago.

 

"xorosa" was my old artist name.



 

 

 

 

 

Another Comeback?

So i guess the reason that i havent been blogging is that i dont have too many readers and that my life isnt all too exciting. haha. But, i really want to get serious about blogging starting 2013.
Recently, i have been working non-stop.
Monday-Friday i work until 6pm then after that i work on a bunch of customs until im ready to go to bed! Its been quite exhausting, but i defintely feel blessed.
Cant thank God enough for my talent. i truly love it.
Below is a drawing i did days ago. I been digging deep into my imagination lately :)

 

Here is another illustration i did! I actually made it into a listing in my shop! Its a cartoony drawing of Cece and Jess from New Girl. One of my favorite shows :)

Please take a look at my Etsy shop for more illustrations and keep a look out for more drawings :)
