Some Christmas Angels...

We had a trial photoshoot at our home with Santino and his best girl-friend ever - Kate. They just love each other. I wanted to share a few photos.

Hello! Again... :)

I'm back on blogger. Some nights are better then others, so I can play with photoshop. I found a few cool photoshop tutorials and tried to use them with my son's photos. Take a look...

And remember my fairies? Here they are again :)

I followed the photoshop effects tutorials found here

Summery

Just a summery pic, for no reason.

My neighbor

Hello everybody!

I feel a need to apologize to my blogger friends for disappearing for such a long time. Thank you for not forgetting me (I hope you didn't forget me :))

No updates really. Was working (part-time from home.. yay!), and when I finished work I didn't feel like hanging around my computer, and wanted to spend some time outside the house, on the front porch. I love watching our neighbors' kids playing. I also love watching my husband play soccer and bocci with them.

Anyways, yesterday I finally (hurray!) felt a need to draw again. I was worrying, that this need disappeared forever, as I didn't feel like it for a while. I sketched a neighbor girl, who was kind enough to sit in front of me without running away for like.. 15 minutes! I saw she wasn't enjoying it though. So I sketched her, and today I wanted to try and color the sketch in photoshop. Here it is...

IF: Renewal

I have never been to a "renewal of vows" ceremony, but looked it up on the internet. I wish I live that long and that happy "ever after".

Just a festive illo

I was listening to Glen Miller on youtube, and imagined this illustration. Sometimes I wish I had a dress like that.

2010 year of Tiger

Here is a tiger. I drew it yesterday in Photoshop.
I wanted to make a card out of it, but words just seem out of place here.  I want all attention to be on the tiger.

Happy New Year!

"Kalendar" again.

This time i didn't submit it, because they have a "day for wrapping up gifts". And as you can see, I drew unwrapping...

Happy unwrapping to all of you!

Another "Kalendar" illo

they spelled their site "kalen-dar" that's why I spell it this way.

This one is for the "day of looking for the forgotten gratitude"

More sketches

A couple of other sketches that I colored in photoshop.

IF: Pioneer

I haven't been posting for a long long time. But now I feel an "urge" again.

Merry Christmas

My warmest wishes to all of you, no matter of whether you celebrate Christmas or not!

Hugs and kisses, my dearest friends! I love you all!

-----------------

I've been making these small avatars for my friends. I hope they like them. I just found a bunch of my older pencil sketches. I decided to make them in Photoshop instead of the Illustrator. It is easier, but also more difficult. I can't seem to find how to draw straight. Most of my lines appear squiggly :)

Kiss

I feel like creating something again. For now, this little thing

Got inspired...

... by this blog here...

I fell in love with those cute girls and decided to make a few for myself :)

Mint fairy

Remember the other one, pulling poor plants, "trying to make them grow faster"? LOL

Now, looky how big they are now! Huge! We've been having mint and oregano every day in salads and with onion and peas, and I even add a few leaves of mint into a jug of water, to give it some flavor. Much healthier than... oh well.

Is this guy sexy?

Hey Bella!! I found one just for you :)

Mint fairy

We have some pepper mint and oregano and some other herbs starting to grow. We didn't plant them this year, they just kinda recovered from last year and started showing up a few days ago.

This fairy ... first i thought she was trying to pull the plant out of the soil. But then i realized, she just tries to make it grow faster :)

Patterns and backgrounds. Part IV - 2

here is another one

Patterns and backgrounds. Part IV

I have made this background... and it actually called for 2 illustrations. Here is one

Patterns and backgrounds. Catwalk

Playing with photoshop patterns and textures. I also wanted to make a stylish illustration. I just love fashion shows, make-up, shoes, dressing up.
