An artful week

 So, as Jeff drifted off to sleep last night, I seized the opportunity to sketch the night away. Sometimes I get into these drawing moods where I feel like I can produce art much more easily than normally.  Yesterday was one of those days.  I did these two things.  The first (above) is a quick sketch that I got carried away with painting in photoshop (I meant only to have it be a pencil drawn comic) of my little snake encounter.  Even looking at my drawing gives me the jibblies.

And secondly, is from Tangled.  The original sketch wasn't so awesome, so I decided to fix my mistakes with vectors, the ever forgiving medium!

And finally, I have been seeing a lot of this "Steam Punk" thing drifting around.  It is cool, I'm not quite sure if I get it completely, but I thought it would be fun to draw.

I have also started to dabble in photoshop painting.  It is in anticipation of our purchase of photoshop CS5 and hopefully a new tablet for Christmas!  I want to be ready to take off when I get these two extremely valuable assets.  I feel like I have only scratched the surface of my potential, and all I need is the proper tools!  I can't wait.  Anyway, here is Tarzan and Jane.

Steam punk stuff can be really cool, but yeah, I have no idea how to do it myself. Where did you get the texture for that wallpaper (or brush or whatever it is)?
