Charlene’s Coffee Experiment
Found some amazing, inspiring art out there of lineless work (and paper cut-outs), and I wanted to do some work with it. Never having done this kind of thing before, this was slow and painful and not great. But I kind of dig the idea of this look and want to do some more with it.
Didn’t want to put the effort into a background, though.
Fashion based off of this outfit!
Charlie Winter Fashion
This isn’t quite the look I was wanting (I really wanted to try much more simplistic shading where just sections are shaded instead of definitions shaded, but I always fail at simplifying), but it feels really good to get something NOT a comic page drawn. It’s been a sad while.
Really needed to spend some time I didn’t really have to draw up something random.
It’s weird how much I enjoy drawing fashion now. Utterly weird if you knew me (since I have no fashion), and especially weird to draw something like this after a few days of playing Modern Warfare 3 as hard as I have been.
EDIT
I should probably add links to the outfit!

Figure I might as well post this up in case Photoshop crashes on me like it’s threatening to.
Been feeling really rushed and ‘blah’ about drawing lately (and been much more absorbed in gaming when not busy with baby/work) and I wanted to try and get some spark back. I’ve kind of fallen in love with drawing fashion sooooo here’s Charlie in some Winter gear. Hoping to finish this up today.
Trying something new with the inking, and going to try something new with the colours.
Sketch of Charlie’s outfit for the next scene I’m working on. I get a lot of feedback on the fashion now so I thought I’d share this.
A lot of the fashion ends up getting based off of things I find around Tumblr. I make sure to spend the time researching before each scene and picking out everyone’s clothes. Not at all something I thought I’d end up spending time on, but it’s been fun, and I’ve learned a lot.
This outfit’s based on an Etsy seller: http://www.etsy.com/listing/79777022/red-lines-dress-xxl-3x-4x
The nice thing about drawing is that this isn’t a dress that would fit Charlie, but I can make it fit here! Maybe someday I could actually do some sponsorship or get some tie-ins with sellers/designers and sell the outfits alongside the scenes. That’s a bizarre but very interesting idea.
