Daily Drawing: Ariel

I love illustration. I love animation. I love Disney. Sometimes I super want to be able to illustrate like peeps such as Brittney Lee (yep, she designed Elsa) or Jim Madsen. Growing up one of my best friends, Kay, was amazing at such things. I have never been awesome, but I have also never really tried either.

So today I give you my first attempt, a slightly forlorn looking Ariel:

One day I shall draw such things as the Historical Princess Series, I recommend taking a look at all of them, by Claire Hummel:

I particularly love the one of Maid Marian.

Recently I have felt that my drawing skills are falling by the wayside. Along with all of my other goals, which I rarely actually achieve, I am going to add drawing a little bit everyday.

Today I was perusing my Pinterest boards and came across the image of the baby snub-nosed and decided he was the one I was going to draw. Throughout the day I got a little bored painting and went back to the drawing a couple of times. Here it is so far:

I figure I will go slowly and really try to make a finished drawing. This is something I haven't done for a long time. We shall see how it goes.
