Shared Animosity.

Hello again! Time for another piece of artwork by yours truly!

Tonight we have a picture I drew for my friend Brian. He wanted a picture of him, myself, and our friend Matt as steampunk pirates. I loved this challenge, simply due to the fact that I love this fashion style! This is one of the few pictures where I actually tried to be detailed. Thus, I captured the cog motif that is really popular in this style. That's all I can really tell you about this piece. So enjoy! Oh, and if anyone knows where to find a hat like the one I drew for myself in this picture, please tell me!!

Picture medium: Pencil (mechanical, .7 lead) on sketchbook paper

Silver is classier than Gold.

Well hello! First actual art post! Hurroo! Well let's get to the logistics then, shall we?

So this fine little gentleman we see here is the product of my wonderful friend Laura's idea for a charming storybook. He is nameless as of yet, but she gave me the creative license to go where I wanted with his design (in this stage at least, haha!) He is basically wearing mismatched clothing: an ill-fitting sweater, scarf, shorts, rubber rain boots, and knee socks. I wanted him to be kind of scrappy and adorable, something a young child could relate to in the simplest of ways.
Ironically enough, the original plan was for the book to be in Seuss style, but I wanted to throw this design out there first. Wish me luck that she likes this!

Basic medium: Pencil (mechanical pencil, .5 lead) on sketchbook paper.

And so begins the Revolution.

Good evening and welcome to my new blog!

I'm Katie Livingston and basically this is going to be a blog for my artwork. The title of this has basically nothing to do with my art, but I do hope to rock your world with some pictures I think are view worthy!

I literally got sucked into the idea of a blog by viewing my friend Jenna's photography blog and Lisa and Rachael's blog Token Fats. Their sites are totally noteworthy and I wanted to follow in suit. I have to admit I'm terrible at committing to sites (my deviant art has had a long hiatus) but I hope to update this site at least twice a week! So hold tight and watch for my art!

As an introduction, I'm the ManGirl in the red scarf
(thus the frequent red scare and bolshevik jokes at my expense!)
