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.

Lindsey
Here's Lindsey.

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

More to come!

These are beautiful!!! Deceptively simple, and very very stylish. I hope you do some more celeb-types! The Susan Boyle one warms my heart!

Riley said...

do you scan your pictures first? then color them with photoshop?

Gabriele Antonini said...

Subo is perfect!
Great work!

thank you, Katie, Riley and Gabriele!
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.

Lovin' the pencil texture, Paige. How large are the original drawings?

Jon, these are each about 5 1/2 inches tall.

paige said...

Vickie! thanks. I'm using a couple different brushes that are chalk inspired. They're so much fun. I found'em online somewhere. Free!

Thanks, Erin. Nice to see a comment from my seester. BTW, Katy is a bazillion times prettier. So is Jess.

Stumbled upon your site while doing some research for "hand turkeys" (believe me, there's some weird shit out there).
You do great work! Keep it up! Definitely bookmarking you, maybe we can work together sometime.
