My name is Maya. I'm 28. I enjoy drawing from time to time.
The first drawing of the year.
Man I’ve been through a lot this year. Two surgeries in two weeks. Still recovering from the second one.
I drew this while listening to Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll) by George Harrison. This is kinda what goes on in my mind when I listen to it. (I love songs that are dreamy/twinkly/floaty like that…)
Here’s the drawing I did for the Christmas card design for this year. 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.
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.
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.
Here’s that picture I’ve been working on for the past few days. 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?
Part 5 of the palette challenge complete.
This one was chosen by another friend outside of tumblrland.
Sometimes I feel that something loses its life when I clean it up. 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. I have a bit of a soft spot for falling, floating, and drifting in the sky and down out of the sky.
I drew this for one of my cousins. I found this to be very relaxing to work on. :) She wanted something blending together thorns and flowers with the symbol for infinity. I hope she liked it.
Part 3 of the palette challenge!
This palette was chosen by a friend of mine who isn’t on tumblr. :P
Part 1 of the palette challenge I’ve been doing. The challenge is taking a palette and trying to make something with it using only the colors included within the palette itself. I’ve been using colors chosen by friends and family from the website colourlovers.com
This palette was chosen by my mom.
