I don't use this community nearly enough!
I keep forgetting it exists. *blush*
Anyway, here's some of my recent soft pastel work.
And by recent, I mean today.
I even mean 'currently getting pastel dust on the keyboard.'

Pastel drawn from a photo of mine. Cannot seem to get things angled the way they are in photos, but, still pretty happy with this. Particularly since it has been 3 months since I last drew. I was actually afraid to try again.

I've been all sorts of nostalgic over Inuyasha lately. It was one of my first big series (besides Dragonball) that I really got into. So, I doodled a little head shot. Can I just say, I LOVE how he turned out! Oh man, I want my style to look like this all the time. ;A;

My first post here, a quick (about 30-45 min) sketch of Rupert Giles from Buffy. HB mechanical pencil, drawn from a reference image.

And while we're on the subject of art, does anyone here use Artician? Is it any good? I'm trying to find a non-fannish place where to post art instead of Deviantart.

I realized I have been terribly inactive over here...thought I'd attempt to be slightly more active, at least here in the art community, considering that I have all sorts of artsy projects happening. :) This is part one of one of those projects.

Just joined Dreamwidth but am a regular on Deviant Art. I just thought I would share with you all one of my latest pieces that I am really proud of. I hope you all like it.

Done a couple hours ago. 5" square oil on canvas, loosely translated from life.

I made two peony paintings today. The first took about an hour and kind of sucked. This is the second one, which took about twenty minutes (I think -- I lose track of time when making art) and I love it.

I'm learning to loosen up more often, and trust myself a bit more.

Figured I'd go ahead and update with the latest series of pieces I've been doing- here's the first, and just jump under the cut for the rest:

These are all done with a Pentel brush pen, Micron pens for the crosshatching, and prismacolor markers.

Apologies for the large size of this. Actual pieces are 11" high and 14" high, respectively.

Her name is Pumpkin. She's a French Bulldog -- the first of the breed I've ever met. I took several photos of her and used this one, with its fantastic light/shadow pattern, for an oil painting. 10 x 8", on canvas.

The owner may or may not buy this; it wasn't a commission, which is one reason I felt free to play with the colors the way I did. But if it doesn't sell, I'll use it like crazy for advertising. :-) I already got a new painting student because of it, and I just finished the canvas last night!

Update: Sold! *happy dance*
