Face Studies


Face Studies, originally uploaded by Tigrikorn.

The variety of facial attributes is always a joy to explore. I doodled these during a staff meeting but these are people from my imagination. On the profiles I start with the outline of the face then add the features. On the full-face studies, I begin with the eyes and add the other features around it. I used no preliminary pencil sketch. Flair Ultra Fine Point Marker on Paper.

365 Tigrikorn Day 187: Paper Bag!


"Never Underestimate the Power of Your Dreams!" I realize that has become somewhat cliche' to tout the power of one's dreams. But isn't it true our dreams and hopes shape us? They can also comfort, motivate and entertain. No less than the Biblical prophets understood the significance of dreams."I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams"- Joel 2:28. What is left to us when we are old but our dreams? Never belittle anyone for cherishing their dreams.

365 Tigrikorn Day 184: Skyline Inspiration


Sunday's inspiration was "City Skyline"! I had planned to go to Chicago for the project. That didn't work out so I stayed in Wonderful West Dundee and took Tigrikorn along Main Street! This is just one of the photos I took of Tigrikorn in front of City Hall.

365 Tigrikorn Day 182: Hand-i-work!

In order to make this shape with my hand, I had to use a wall. Today's assignment was to somehow use my hand in the art. The coloring was done digitally. So no washing of paint or marker off my hand was needed. ^_^

365 Tigrikorn Day 179: 60s Ad Homage

Today's official assignment was to use seeds. My take on this is to make an homage to the "seed" for Tigrikorn. It's the Armstrong Tire Rhino I saw as a kid in the 60s!
