And NOW for something entirely different and non-writing-ish. :)

This is my entry into the Draw It Better Contest and I finally entered because I got tired of telling @loliboofae and @abyni they should enter... plus, it was a cartoon theme, which I find super relaxing. I was having a cranky ass day yesterday and decided to draw for a while instead of continuing to beat my head against the wall trying to write :)

I chose these characters because they remind me of my three daughters <3

I'll be back tomorrow with a new Weekend Freewrite AND of course, New Tempest Papers!

Without further ado... here is my cartoon-y process:

<sub>Drawing cartoons has always been super relaxing for me. I guess it reminds me of the easy parts of childhood and takes me back to coloring with my own kids way back when (and my grandkids now!)


I like layering a lot of colors together with the prismacolors, whether I'm doing super realistic stuff or even just adding a little bit of depth to some fun cartoon characters.</sub>



I actually had to use a variety of ink/markers because everything I have was running out of ink. :/



I borrowed Abyni's prismacolor pencils because... well, they're better than the grandkids crayons that I had to work with!

Long story short, I might be entering drawing contests occasionally, because it was fun to sit and just draw something simple and I find coloring to be relaxing :)

Keep an eye out for more FREE graphics this coming week! Let me know in the comments what kind of graphics you've been looking to use in your posts, because I'm really having fun exploring my graphic design side lately, too!
