Trochilus Polytmus Anime Dancer Drawing
This is another one of my nice anime drawings based on pretty birds. The maiden is wearing a dress I designed based on that bird. The more common name for the bird is the red billed streamertail or the doctor bird. It is a type of hummingbird. It has a lot of nice coloring, and a lovely tail as well. The bird is indigenous to Jamaica and it is also the national bird as well. These feathers make a nice humming sound, as the little bird flies. Only the males with the long tail feathers get the ladies. As to...
Splendid Astrapia Anime Ballerina Drawing
Yesterday, I got around to making this little number. It has been quite a while since I made pretty anime drawings. I made it for a youtube video. I spent the entire night trying to angle the camera just right. Close to the end, I got it just right. It took me about half an hour to complete the drawing.

Even when you...
Much Ado about Mixed Media
Mixed media is anything that doesn't use a pure art medium. So, if you have a drawing or a painting that has more than one type of thing, it technically falls on mixed media.

The colored lines were made with Steadler markers. The skin was drawn with lyra pencils, and the rest was just plain old Derwent. So, technically there is not only mixed medias, but mixed brands as...
Ballerina in Red and Black
I did not get much work done as far as drawing was concerned. I will not get into details, with the whole remodeling of the kitchen and the fridge not plugged. Anyhow, this is one of my old drawings. It features a pretty ballerina with a coiled hairdo. I could not decide were to put the ribbon, so I placed it in her hand. Maybe it could go on the side of the hair or not. The V shape cut is thought to be a bit modern. However, this outfit is circa 1850s. In those days, ballerinas were treated the...
Ballerina in a Mermaid Costume from the 1900s
The story of the little mermaid has been popular since its inception. The original story was written by Hans Christian Anderson. It was about a mermaid who fell in love with a human. Since the story was written, it has been used in plays and in movies. This is a ballerina costume for one of the mermaids. She has her hair short because she gave it to the sea witch. She gave the hair to the witch to get a dagger for her sister. Her sister had to kill the human she loved to turn into a mermaid. It's one...
