Here are some of the kids I taught, caricatured. They're just head shots, and all smiling - whether it be in an innocent or mischievous way was determined by the time I got to spend with them in art class.

Hey Kids!
For part of this summer I was kept very busy as a day camp counselor, running the camp's art program. Though it was tiring, (as almost all work with children is), I loved teaching them new things, and it was always great seeing their results. One of my favorite things when I used to go to camp was the art classes, so when some kids said the same things about camp this year, well that was very nice to hear :)

Simply Serene
One thing I like most about summer is the time spent at the cottage. Just got back from a long weekend at a friend's cottage and here's a quick watercolour/ink sketch I did of my surroundings.

Hooters
..and by hooters I mean owls..what else!
I wanted to test out some brushes on Photoshop, because I havnt been one to use many when working on one piece, so these were more experimental for me as opposed to a final piece. Don't remember how I came to choose owls as the subject matter, but once I started I really liked how unique (and in some cases complex) their feathers are. I drew a few, but these are my two favorties..and as for the background, yes it's a lame flower brush but I liked the effect it gave, contrasting the realistic owls with the retro design.

At the Zoo
Took a day to draw at the zoo. Times flies when you're drawing animals... I really enjoyed it, which is a good things because I need a lot more practice and therefore hope to be going back soon. Also, got a membership, so if anyone is up for more zoo drawing trips in the near future, let me know! These are just a few of my better ones..
