Princess and Pirate inc. #movember (D)

I was sorry to hear about William Goldman's passing a little while ago. What a writer.

I've also wanted to color this for a while and hey, it's even on trend for #movember. When I was a kid I thought the 'stache was gross but he rocks that look.

Sketch version from September 2017:

Happily Ever Two Weeks Later (D)

A couple weeks ago I realized with a pang that in our busyness and wrangling of kids J and I totally forgot to take our traditional Happily Ever After photo at DCA... so I decided to just take care of that the best way I knew how. A little late-night Valentine's Day P.S. as February rolls into March.

And it just so happens that some family went a couple weeks after we did, so this is as close to a personal photograph of the actual time we were there as I could hope for. Thanks, Jack et al.!

Entreat Me Not (D)

Like An Anthem In My Heart (D)

I decided to experiment with my first-ever speedpaint for this one.  ~45 minutes, though it could have gone on for ages.

Sunday Sketches verion

That's it for #TGSbyDrew for now!  Itch definitely scratched.

Our Hands Our Tied (D)

I hope you're not tired of my TGS arts, because, well, even if you are... I'm not done yet.  This looks... almost exactly how I pictured it in my head.

A Million (D)

The obsession continues.  I really need to get J in here to post hers too, they are amazing!

I enlisted Instagram to help make my work in progress version a little more dynamic and they were really helpful!  For comparison's sake here's the sketch:

Commission: Paul and Carrie (D)

Okay, one more commission via ArtCorgi just so I can be caught up. This was going to be a pretty standard engagement gift but I tried to up my game with some tilt shift and pushing for a more interesting pose and a last-second addition of the skyline's reflection (which should have been obvious, but oh well). He really liked it, I can only assume she does too. XD

Exploration of a shot from the previous week

Inktober is starting in a few days so I'm not sure if there will be much time for my usual things, so look for more of these later in the fall.

8-Year Smolder (D)

8 years ago and still smoldering.

Transformed (D)

But you seriously cannot beat the original.

Commission: Hans and Janelle (D)

Fun commission via ArtCorgi:

I updated it after delivery to add body hair and smokey eyes because these things are clearly important.

Family Christmas "Photo" (D)

I was getting ready to blog about Christmas and then I remembered we didn't have a family photo from the day so I took this sketch I did and painted it and voila.  Close enough.

Sketch version for fun:

Seven years... (D)

... and not the slightest itch.
