Weekend Sketch(es)

Sometimes my kids want me to draw for them. Right now, that means I'm drawing a lot of princesses, mermaids, fairies, and ballerinas. Which, let's face it, is kind of up my alley. Ninja Girl requested this ballerina, and I thought I'd share it, even though I'm sure it's totally wrong because I know practically nothing about ballet so you don't have to tell me.
But the tutu is pretty!

And then, of course, I tend to sketch characters for my current WIP. So earlier this week I drew Maggie Craft, a friend of my MC and a fellow witch.

Alright, as you were. Enjoy the last bit of the weekend!

  2. I love your drawings! Will you post a fairy sometime? I'm working on a book about fairies, so I kind of have them on the brain right now ;)

  3. I actually stopped by about an hour ago, hoping you'd have a sketch up. Since you didn't, I thought for sure I wouldn't see one this weekend, so I was so happy to see your twitter link. These are awesome, Nat. Love. (and you know I love seeing the characters from your book that I'm reading.)

  6. Very cool! I admire people who can draw because I can't even draw a nice looking stick figure. Wow! That's all I can say.

  9. Cute! I love the long braid. I used to know some Japanese and Korean girls when I lived overseas and they would scribble away, making pictures kind of like this one and I loved them so much that I begged them to make doodles for me. They probably thought I was strange, and maybe people over there all draw the same--I don't know, but I always love the eyes the best. Very pretty.

  11. Renee, this is what happens when you have so many books...with large casts. Don't worry about it.
