Think Spring

I hope this Monday morning is treating everyone well. The weather here in Kansas City has been definitely crazy for it being the month of April. I feel that if I keep creating more Spring art pieces, the sooner it will start feeling like it. But this weather is just not cooperating. Please Mother Nature let the warm sun come out soon! This piece was made using Procreate on my IPad Pro using an Apple Pencil. From start to finish, it was created digitally while watching my kids favorite movie Ghost Busters for the millionth time. (I love it too!) Atleast something productive came from it. You can now shop this design at my Society6 shop at https://society6.com/ruthmillercreative. Have a happy Monday!

You’re Brew-tiful

I’m so excited it’s Monday….said no one ever! We’re coming down from an Easter candy coma, so this morning has been super rough on my whole household. I wanted to post this sketch I made with colored pencil and pen today, because I feel like every Monday I need some kind of motivation to get through the day. This one has been sitting in my handy dandy sketchbook just waiting for the right moment. I also waited to post it because I messed up the lettering and needed to find time to clean it up on the computer. This is a prime example of….you guessed it…I’m not perfect and make mistakes too! Below is my sketch with all it’s mistakes layed out. I smeared the lettering, the colored pencils started to smudge off my hand and I couldn’t quite figure out the background. But thanks to Photoshop, it still turned out all right. Have a great Monday!

Hoppy To See You

Happy Monday! Currently, it is raining and storming in Kansas City. So it’s been kind of a depressing morning. This week I am going to be posting and featuring Easter themed sketches. Before I moved to Olathe (suburb of Kansas City), I rarely saw bunnies. But around here they are crazy and everywhere. I always know it’s beginning to be Spring when I start seeing them out and about. I thought I would start the sketches off with a white bunny, of course, since it’s bunny season around here! Sketch made with pen and marker in my sketchbook. Below is a pic of beginning of the sketch and then the final product. Have a great week!

Lucky Day

Happy Monday! Today starts the week leading up to St. Patrick’s Day. Everything is going to be covered with clovers, rainbows, leprechauns and all things green. Green is my favorite color, so it’s nice to have a holiday that embraces it. So this week will be full of St. Patrick’s posts to get you ready for the big day.

Spring

Hello everyone! It’s finally starting to feel like spring. The weather is inspiring some very cute spring sketches coming to you today and this week. So about squirrels….I think they are really cute galloping around the yard with their fluffy tails twirling about until they decide to rip holes in all your deck pillows. True story! My neighborhood squirrels thought they would rummage my deck and steal pillow fluff for their nests this past fall. They even became brave enough to make a hotel in my hanging planter baskets. Needless to say they aren’t too cute in my mind right now. So here’s to a new season….Hopefully the squirrels and I can coexist in harmony. Sketch made with pen and marker.

Peaceful Owl

Winter is one of my least favorite seasons! I am so ready for Spring. I just want to be out in warmer comfortable weather already. Also I can’t wait for all the new life and blooms that Spring brings each year. It’s my second favorite season! I have always loved seeing all the gorgeous colors and smells that it presents. Except my allergies tend to hate it, but that’s what Claritin is for…right? So I have a feeling that my sketches are going to gravitate towards Spring. Be prepared! Sketch made with pen and markers.

You’re My Boo!

Happy Monday! My favorite day of the week….says no one ever! Here is another Valentine’s Day sketch I have been working on. It’s cute play on words. You kinda have to appreciate anytime you can incorporate a ghost outside of Halloween. Sketch made using watercolor and then outlined with black pen.
