Hello!

I’m a little rusty. It’d been a few years since the last time I sent out cards. I asked my mom to take on card duty the first year we did these, so my mom is in charge of all the putting it together in her card program stuff on her computer and then she prints them all out and is in charge of finding card stock and stuff.<br/><br/>She’s been having computer issues and then the printer was having issues but she was able to get it working in time to send out the cards this year. I hope everyone who got one was happy! Family got some, and I sent them out to a lot of my friends and my mom sent some out to her friends as well.<br/><br/>I had in mind those old vintage toy style color schemes I saw growing up at my grandma’s house and stuff. I do like weird pom poms and colors and what seems to be scratchy velvet. I listened to a lot of The Nutcracker while I worked on this… one of my Christmas traditions.</p>http://bentkey.net/post/14758459202http://bentkey.net/post/14758459202Sat, 24 Dec 2011 22:50:17 -0800branchchristmasdrawingelfgimpgreeting cardillustrationornamentchristmas card<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw8d294jAz1r6e0kuo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Here’s something I drew for my niece a while back.

Like I said a few posts back about sketchiness, I’ve decided that if it “feels right” to leave parts sketchy, I’m just gonna go with it. Why not, right?</p>http://bentkey.net/post/14009896902http://bentkey.net/post/14009896902Sat, 10 Dec 2011 03:10:55 -0800gimphandsdrawingartfacehairstrandswinddigital paintingillustration<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvvd4q325I1r6e0kuo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Unfinished pic thought process example 1:</strong><br/>Looking through old pics of mine, I realized that ages ago I had really fallen in love with digital painting. I used to do a ton of different color studies or whatever of faces and stuff like that to see how shadows worked and to play with color and light. I dunno what happened but I fell into an abyss for a while and just forgot about it.<br/><br/>So the other day I decided to pick up the digital painting thing again and try again and see how long it takes me to get back to where I was, or hey maybe see if I’ve improved.</p> <p>Exercise began, and I found it to be a lot of fun. I like to play with strange colors and see what happens. Only problem is I got a little stuck on the hair/general negative space in this pic. A bit stumped. But when I started this blog I decided I’d power through stuff, and even if something is unfinished or even scrapped, I’ll post it anyway. This narrowly escaped scraps a few times. Tonight I found how the hair should go during a goof off moment, and I’m very happy. Here’s a picture that describes that moment. </p>http://bentkey.net/post/13910000760http://bentkey.net/post/13910000760Wed, 07 Dec 2011 21:12:00 -0800artdigital paintingdrawinggimphairmoment of claritymspaintstrandswipprocess<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lviadoHEIm1r6e0kuo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Kinda cartoony. I remember having this picture in my head I just wanted to quickly get down. I like the idea of being out at night on a sidewalk and seeing the light from a house glowing. I’ve kept returning to this idea over the years. Another from 2007. (lol where have my colored pencils gone?!)</p>http://bentkey.net/post/13575838794http://bentkey.net/post/13575838794Wed, 30 Nov 2011 19:44:12 -0800drawingpencil2007colored pencilsidewalknight<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvia9sOFUh1r6e0kuo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>This is one of those simple things I’ve tended to just keep to myself.

This is probably because my linework skill sucks. This drawing is one of those. I think I may post more “dirty” stuff later, outside of this challenge. Anyway, I left this with sketchiness intact…and I love how it turned out.
