Rose Ceremony

The season premiere of the newest Bachelorette was on tv last night, and I drew this on the Paper app while watching. If you don't watch the show, at the end of each episode they hand out roses to their choices, hence the rose drawing. 

I'm still experimenting with coloring with Paper. The color palette is very limited and the ability to layer paint is different with each tool. I colored the pencil sketch with the marker and then used watercolor and pencil on top of that in case you are using the app and wanted to know. 

The Bachelor and Bachelorette are the only reality tv shows that I still watch and really love.  I'm always hopeful that they will find true love, but I think most people enjoy the show for the awkwardness and drama haha. 

My favorite picks for Emily so far are Ryan (who does something with sports and children) and Charlie (who was in an accident prior to the show). Did you watch last night?

Illustration Friday - Swamp

Here's what I came up with for this week's Illustration Friday topic, "Swamp." I actually ended up watching the show Swamp People, which I had never seen before, to get some inspiration. It was a lot more interesting than I thought it was going to be! 

Swamp People is on the History channel and is a reality show that follows gator hunters through the swamp. It's fascinating, I promise!

So after all that alligator hunting I watched, I had to paint an alligator. Watch out, he's coming to get you :0)

Illustration Friday - Intention

Rachel had good intentions when she made a traditional English trifle for Thanksgiving, but the dish didn't turn out as planned. 

Here's my entry for this week's Illustration Friday, I actually finished early this week!

The idea came from the tv show Friends, and If you haven't seen that episode you really should! Here's a clip on Youtube.
