Ayesha KhanI liked her so much I finished her. The hair took the longest to do, but I’m really happy with how much they remind me of cinnamon buns. I kind of wish she had feet, but when I tried drawing them in, they just wouldn’t. Prints are available here. Adobe Illustrator CS3
Not the dog, the hairstyle. You may be more familiar with it if you’ve ever watched “I Love Lucy” seeing as Lucille Ball sported this ‘do quite regularly. Just a doodle of a pin up girl in capris and a crop top ready for the summer heat. 0.1 mm pen and 0.5 mm pen.
I like that most of her hair is actually flowers. 0.5 mm ballpoint pens.
Seems it only wants them side by side when aligned to the left. Anyway, just some sketches from my moleskine. The lovely lady on the right has dreadlocks (hopefully that’s obvious) and the super cool lady on the left, has a half-shaved head. Happy Friday the 13th. 0.5 mm Mechanical Pencil.
I like drawing beehive hairstyles. Or just big hair in general. Kuretake brush pens, water, and 0.5 mm ballpoint pens.
A quick doodle of a hairstyle, it’s a modified Gibson roll ( I think). I liked her profile here. On an unrelated note, there is a very angry duck in my backyard. He/She is complaining about something fierce. 0.5 mm Ballpoint pens.
More doodles from 2010. Another old doodle, I’m pretty certain it was using the same “oekaki” software as the one from yesterday. The name of the software still escapes me.
Another test run with painting faces in watercolours. I tried a darker skin tone this time, but it doesn’t look like it’s showing up to well on my screen. Pan watercolours, brush pen, and 0.3mm pigment liner.
“Z” was a young woman who worked with us for a short time, and had asked me to design a ‘hardcore/heavy metal” pin-up girl tattoo for her. This was done about 3 years ago. “Z” asked that the pinup be wearing latex, a collar and buckle-covered boots. Paint Tool Sai.
Late night doodles. 0.5mm black and red pens, 0.5mm pencil.
