Pencil, Paper, and a Little Imagination

Surprising, isn't it, that that's all it takes? I've been drawing since I was itty-bitty. One of my earliest memories was drawing pictures with another little girl who was a friend of mine. I'm afraid her name eludes me. All I remember was that I was drawing pictures of two girls (portraits of the two of us, probably) and I hadn't drawn the noses in. I didn't want to draw them in, because at the age of five, the only way we knew how to draw noses was to use a dot. That's right, a dot. And I knew that wasn't right. So, my playmate, seeing my beautiful (yet noseless) creations, takes her marker and plants a big, juicy dot in the center of each face. Boy was I mad.

Y'know, it's probably a good thing that I don't remember her name.

All reminiscing aside, here's the promised artwork. I'll add to it when I have time.

Klingons

Eep! This one taught me to keep my mouth shut! I'd been crowing about my first sale at a convention art show, and my friend Kay, who was the editor of the Jev at the time asked me for a cover for the newsletter. By Monday. So here it is -- Mucha Klingon Pronto.

Sometimes even keeping your mouth shut doesn't help. Victor, the new editor of the Jev, asked me if I could draw a charging Klingon. Your wish is my command, O Great One . . .

Pencil Studies

This one I did awhile back. It's Uma Thurman from the cover of the movie Gattaca. I'm afraid it doesn't look anything like her. A portraitist I am not

This is my most recent study. Don't ask me who she is, I found a close-up of her face in an upscale department store catalog and went to town.
