Almost down two more projects!!!

I am almost done with two of my woodburning projects.  I have the one sign almost finished.  I have a little outlining to do and then that is all done and my box is almost finished as well, I have some shading left to do and color to add then I can put the pictures on the top!!!    Plus I have a rough sketch done for another project and I am still working on the family portrait commission that I am working on as well.

  So here is the sign.  All I have left is to outline the one helmet.  and sign it!!!  Then it is all done!!!! Yay!!!Added the orange color with water color pencil.

The above shots are of the box I am doing as a Christmas gift.  The sides have a snow flake pattern on them while the front and back have the names of her pets.  Also I got my scanner up and running so I have the portrait I am working on as well.

 There you go.  Lots done and still so much more to go.    Also I will not be posting Friday night as I am house sitting and will not have access to the internet.  So I will have lots more stuff for you on Monday!!!!!  Hopefully lots of finished stuff!!! 

Happy Wednesday!

Woodburner finally arrived!!

So I finally got my woodburner today and I started burning.  Mostly because the first woodburning commission I have is fairly simple and shouldn't take to much time to do.
The first one is the sign with the Cleveland Browns Bulldog and helmets.

I am having problems with my scanner so the portrait I promised will not be until later and I will just put it on my profile page.    So I am super excited to work on some woodburning. 
Well that is all for tonight.  Hope to have lots more for you on Wednesday!!!

Woodburning and Portrait Projects

I have some more woodburning projects to share with you.  These are like the box I posted, just the initial drawing as my woodburner has yet to be shipped.  I will have a couple more woodburning projects up on Wednesday.

The first one is a Commission for a girl I work with.  The family she wants to give it to are big fans of the Cleveland Browns.

The second one is actually a Christmas gift and I found the image online

 I take no credit for the original image and it belongs to the original photagrapher

Right now I am also working on two portraits one I will show you what I have done the other I don't have scanned in yet but should have up on Monday.

 

This is a portrait I am doing for my sister for Christmas and I hope to start working on it again sometime soon!!!  This rather large and I am hoping I can get it done on time!!!  All done in colored pencil!  I will tell you who it is later.

So while I am working on these pieces I tend to listen to music, and I have been listening to a lot of Lindsey Stiriling, and the Piano Guys.  So here are two videos that I have been listening too!!!

The Paino Guys and Art Work

So I apologize to all you readers for not posting Monday night as I went straight to a friends house spent the night and then went to see The Piano Guys up at Cleveland yesterday!!!!  The concert was incredible and I had an awesome time!!!  So if you love music and just want to have a good time at a concert look them up and check concert dates.  This is one of my favorite pieces so far that they have done so check it out.

So I have been very busy with artwork though I don't have much to show you tonight I will have a lot of pics up on Friday of all the woodburning pieces I have ready to be burned.
Tonight I do have an update on my Ike picture and he is almost done!!!  I just have a little on his jacket left to do!!! So for any of you who actually read my blog I am wanting to do another celebrity portrait.  Please comment on one that you would like to see me do!!!!  I am open to drawing anyone.  So please leave a comment below, or if there is something you would like to see me draw period.  I am cool with that too!

Wonderful two days!!

So yesterday was my birthday and I had a wonderful day, all that got done was rewatching some of my favorite episodes of Gintama, had lunch with a friend and just had a great day.
Today I have pictures of another Christmas gift which I can do no more with until I get my woodburner. 
I also watched some music videos Including Zea's Ghost of the wind
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82d7a2oCEvo  I love this song a lot!!!!  Go check it out.
Also tomorrow is my favorite anime characters birthday. 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAKATA GINTOKI!!!!
And on the 11th is his voice actors birthday Tomokazu Sugita!!! 
Well here are the pictures of the box!

I truly enjoyed my birthday as I got to see a friend and be with family and that was wonderful and I wish I could do that more often. 

So the reason I mentioned Tomokazu San and Gintoki earlier is not just because I am major fans but because I have a lot to thank them for.  So if you have not seen Gintama and you like comedy, action, and total randomness check it out.  It always manages to put a smile on my face when I am depressed the most!!!  Anyway that's really all I have to say for now so Happy Birthday to two of the most awesome people ever real and otherwise!!!  Love them with all my heart!!!

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Dragon is Finished!!!!

Well my dragon skateboard is finally finished everyone!!!  I am so excited!  He turned out pretty good to.  Though the white is a little in your face I still think it helps lead your eye through the image.

I am quite happy with it and glad it is done!!!  When it stops raining I will be putting a spray on it and then get it shipped down south!!!  I also did another before this one and it was of a monk. 

I got the imagine on line from national geographic or a site like that.  The vine designs I also got online.  Unfortunately I do not have the link anymore for those sites to give them the proper credit they deserve but I will be looking them up again soon.  Also got started on another Christmas gift and will have pictures up on Wednesday for that one!!!  And will have Ike done then too!!!

Today was the first Sunday I have had off in quite a while and it was really nice.  Got to go out for Chinese with my family and work on artwork all day and drink lots of tea!!!  Tis the life.

Happy Sunday everyone and see you on Wednesday!!!

Woodburner ordered!!!!

Well I have another finished project to share with you today and an almost finished dragon!!!  So excited.  First off all I have to do is add the extra color to the scales on the face and the dragon is done.

So hopefully I should have him done soon.  Also I got another project finished as well and it turned out rather nice.  Though my second attempt on the project.  This is for my sister for Christmas, it is Henry!!!!  I did this at home with some fabric paint and iron on transfer paper!!!  but it still came out nice I think!!  Lots of fun.  

As I said last time I had company over on Wednesday.  I had a great time watched some Gintama (my favorite anime ever) the Korean Drama Secret Garden, and many music videos.  As we were watching some Gintama we came up with the idea to turn the lovely men from that show into their own boy band.  So keep your eyes open cause their might be a drawing in the process!!!!
Also I have a woodburner on the way and happy to say you will get to see some woodburning pieces soon!!!!!  yay!!!!
Well talk to you all later hope you enjoyed the update and I will see you on Sunday!
Mizumi!
