A couple cartoony doodles

I have something completely different than what I normally share for you today.  Normally when I share my art it is some sort of realistic portrait.  This week I wanted to try something new.

A few months ago my best friend's mom asked me if I could create a logo for the business that she was started.  She plans parties for children, makes gift baskets, and dresses up in character costumes for the parties.  She also does a lot of work for charities and shows up at hospitals dress in costumes just to make kids smile.  

She asked me to create something cartoony.  She had almost an exact idea in her head of what she wanted.  She wanted a girl and boy, to represent her son and daughter.  She also wanted to add a little yellow butterfly as a remembrance of a family member.  The little boy in the drawing was supposed to be holding balloons and the little girl holding a gift basket.  She wanted a "Precious Moments" kind of look to them, and also knew she wanted them to be in pastel colors.

To get the pastel color look I used watercolors and just diluted them a bit.

While my daughter was taking her nap I felt like doodling a little, so I drew a couple Disney Princesses. haha!  Not my best work but I thought I would share anyway!

What do you think???

The end of the challenge...until Sept!

I was so excited to join the 29 Faces Challenge last month.  I got to meet a lot of new bloggers/artists and it kept me motivated to create new art.  I really enjoyed trying a bunch of different mediums to create all of these faces.  Here are some of the faces I created for this past month's challenge:

 I can't wait until September to "attend" again.  In the meantime, I would love to keep in touch with everyone who was creating so expect to see my name popping up in the comments!

29 Faces Challenge- #'s 17-19

I have been working like crazy so I haven't had too much time to do sketches so I did a couple to catch up!   These are just really quick pencil sketches.

Starting my new job today and Face #3

I am starting my brand new job today and to be honest I am SUPER nervous!  This is the first time I will be back to work since my little one was born almost a year ago.  I'm not sure how I am going to handle being away from her but we will see how it goes.

To help me de-stress I drew this pencil drawing of a woman for a book my husband is working on for the 29 Faces Challenge.  She is the white queen.  I actually got the idea for the face and pose from a Victoria's Secret Model. LOL!  I added the clothes and day bed/couch.
