Bunny Sketches

New drawing- Father

This is an image I made to compliment my "Mother" drawing that I did back in May/June. I meant to do this one in June, but some things happened and I got sidetracked. Created with Copic markers.

Some new sketches

Some self sketches I made in my sketchbook. I decided to practice shading and color them in Adobe Photoshop. :)

Character headshot - Mocha

A sketch of one of my characters, Mocha. His design was pretty simple (he only wore shorts basically) but I'm going to put a cowboy-ish hat and a long coat on him. It seems to go with his laid back personality. ^-^

Lanscape sketch

Lamp Sketch

A pretty lamp at the bookstore. Black prismacolor pencil.

Random sketch

I was hanging out at a bookstore and saw this guy sit at a table across from me. I like his hair, so I drew a quick sketch based on him and then colored it with Prismacolor Pencils.

Making sweet tea

I think I've discovered one of the secrets to making really good sweet tea. At one of my favorite sweet tea making eateries in town, I've noticed that after they brew the tea they add the sugar, then stir the batch for a minute with a really big spoon and let it sit for a few more minutes (unless they're getting a lot of business, then they're kind of forced to serve it before its properly 'done').

At first, I assumed this was done to make sure the sugar was completely dissolved and mixed thoroughly- Istill believe this is the main objective to that. However, it occurred to me that in stirring the tea that they were also airing it out. I made some tea at home and after brewing, added the sugar, stirred it, and then let it set for a few minutes. It might be in my head, but it sure seems to taste better than my past failed attempts at making this beloved beverage. Viva Sweet Tea! ^-^-b

Latte Flying

This is my original character, Latte, for my graphic novel. This was mostly an opportunity to practice my lighting and shadows. Drawn in pencil, then colored on the computer in Corel Painter. Character and art (c) J. Johnson
