Dragging myself from the rut

RUT RUT RUT
I've been in a drawing rut, which I hate! However, I've discovered a temporary solution for ruts...drawing friends! Those familiar heads always cheer me and make me excited to draw again.

Here are some sketches, taken from MySpace and friend blogs. I'm sure a lot of you will recognize where I stole these funny poses and expressions from! Go check these guys' blogs for hillarious photo stories!

Dapper Eddie and stunning Marlo! I tried to color this one but messed it up. OOPS! You'd think by now I'd know how to use markers.

Hi Eddie! You have the best expressions in the world.

Kali is pretty. It looks nice when you put lavender in her hair.


Some of these drawings feature friend Nico! I've never drawn him before though...so they're super sketchy.


I did some more, but I'll save those for later. Here are the sketches before I inked them:

Bye fer now! Thanks everyone so much for the suggestions on my last post...if you think of any more, let me know! :D

Help! Ideas and suggestions needed!

Pretty soon I need to make some money from selling drawings on ebay again. Instead of inking old crap, I wanna draw some new stuff and clean it up all nice. So I want to ask the people who read my blog...if you were gonna buy some original art from me, what would you want to see?

Sexy pinup girls?
Really cutesy stuff?
Drawings of girls doing weird things?
More realistic stuff?
Ben and Nico suggested drawing famous or iconic girls, like Edie Sedwick or 60's pop singers.
What do you think?

Please comment and let me know what kind of girlie art you like best!

Also, I thought about doing commissions, but I'm not sure if it's the best idea for me. I like the idea of taking requests, but I'm afraid of getting asked to draw things that are going to be either too time consuming, difficult, or weird! If there are artists out there who do commissions, how do you handle stuff like that? Is it rude to take one person's request and deny another's?



P.S. New drawings coming soon!
