Feb 21, 2011 - Happy Birthday to me! (actually my birthday is on the 19th but I didn't have any art to post until now hehe) :)

So this weekend was my birthday and I had a great time. Nathan took me to Medieval times and I got drunk and acted like a fool cheering on my knight (go Red Knight!). The only people it seemed to bother was the couple sitting next to me, but you know what... it was fun and I was just getting into the spirit.

I had given myself the whole weekend off from my usual work because a) I needed a break and b) I wanted to sketch my own stuff. Yesteday I did a lot of prelim sketches... stick figures in different poses for future use and other general ideas that I had and wanted to get down on paper. I did manage to flesh out one whole sketch though. It started out with the idea of a girl moving the hair out of her face and turned into a cute Kitty Pryde.

I decided to take my time (I had all day after all) and really work on fleshing out the piece. I always rush the little things and leave a lot out because I usually color my sketches and finish the details during that phase. But the whole idea of this piece centered around her hair and I decided to detail it as much as possible. So here it is.
