I'm a little backed up, with some unscanned drawings sitting around that I can't post because, ugh, the scanner is all the way over at the library and getting from here to there is COLD WINDY BUSINESS.

Here's the Christmas card I drew for my friend Sophi:

I like it because you can write a very sentimental message on it, about valuing friendship or some such, or you can write something like "Let's Ditch Our Relatives And Get Drunk Together" and it becomes a kind of fun, cheeky card.

And here are some elegant ladies I drew while I was bored during my hospital orientation class. I have another class coming up at the end of January- expect more elaborate BIC-pen shading!

I got one of those strapless/backless bras for my New Year's dress. It works about as well as I should have expected.

From my long, long day of "processing" for starting a my new job.

This has been floating around tucked into my sketchbook for a long time. I think it might look better with a bit of the right edge cropped off but this is the whole thing (about 5 by 6 inches)

I have been going out in the evenings a lot, and so this sums up a lot of my mornings.

Here is a better scan of the Nutcracker Christmas card design. I'm still not thrilled with the washed-out colors...I have to adjust the saturation up as far as it will go on each image and this is still the best I can get:

This second design has the same problem; as you can see, some of the tree branches didn't even really scan as green and are totally washed out (this one has already had the saturation adjusted, too). I'm not totally thrilled with the composition overall. Originally the children were white, not red, and I think the whole thing would be better on a different background.
