Something I've Been Working On


Meet witch. She's a character I've been working on. I've thought about names, but haven't decided on one yet. Mostly I've been drawing her in different settings. I find her intriguing and fun to draw. I discover things about her each time I draw her. For example, in this drawing I discovered that she has a thing for fashion. The hat and scarf were ideas from The Sartorialist. Her pointed hat just wouldn't work in this New England winter. Too cold! (It's perfect for October, though.)

Here she is on a rainy September day in Boston:


Other things you may want to know about her:

She likes to tango and spend time at the spa. She is a chef.

  3. She is really developing nicely Ann Marie. I really like these drawings, and how they're on graph paper. Adds another little layer of interest. Makes me wonder about painting on some type of lined paper - have you tried that? Maybe a charcoal transfer on a gouache base?
