Girl with thorned hair

This is a sketch I have had on my mind for some time of a girl with hair made out of thorns. She can't really run her fingers through her hair or style it like other women can and when she touches it she pokes her finger and bleeds. I'm still working out the composition and the details, but in the drawing you can see drawn in lightly the blood dripping from her finger.

Hand Study 02

Hi Girls,

Here is another hand drawing I did. This time I looked online for hand photos to draw and took it in to photoshop to get more contrast. For the next one I'm going to take photos of my hand and my husband's hand for reference.

Hand study

Hey Girls! I hope everyone is having a great summer.

I know it's been a while since I posted on the blog and it would be great to continue the posts and get the ball rolling.

So here is a sketch I did of my hand holding an eraser. I'm trying to get better at drawing hands and looking for different methods to draw them.

I hope everyone has new posts for our blog! :)

Laura's Centaur... aka This one is for the Ladies!

Here is my centaur drawing. I decided to try and draw a male figure this time around.

Laura's Shoe

Here is my WIP for the Old woman who lives in a Shoe sketch.

Laura's Viking

This is the sketch and uncolored version of my viking. A colored version is in progress.

Laura's Vixen

Here is my version of the voluptuous vixen. I was having a hard time thinking of how to portray a vixen and I did not know what I would draw until the last minute. I just started sketching this and had a hard time trying to draw the hand in perspective. I thought it would be cool to have the apple covering "Eve's" breasts as she is handing you the apple. I hope you guys like it. :)

Rainbow Brite....

This is my version of Rainbow Brite. I was never too familiar with the cartoon, but I do have some memories of Rainbow Brite, and since to me she's from the past I thought of her as an old idea in my head.
