Celebs!

In the interest of keeping things fresh I've decided it's high time I start posting doodles and sketchies. So..okay! I'm doing it.

I'm kind of a sucker for those ragtag magazines at the checkout stands...and sometimes, late at night, I doodle from those pages. Here's a couple to start...fresh with some newly added photoshop color for added zest.

Here's Lindsey.

Susan Boyle
Good Ol' Susan Boyle...before the makeover.

More to come!

    I looooove to doodle like this and need to do it more often. Riley, yes...the pencils were scanned in and I spent a couple minutes in Photoshop to add some color.
