Sarah's Sketches

New pages up! Tearse should probably stop leaving Elsie alone on the island.

New pages are up, beginning Book Six, the last book of the Wellington Division. It's exciting to think I'll soon be posting the end of the story. :)

It's been a busy week and my Nessa pin-up art isn't done yet. I've been carrying it around with me as I play with the kiddos, penciling as I go. It has narrowly avoided splatters of milk, and the embellishments of an eager one-year-old artist. But since I like to post something in-between graphic novel posts, here's a little painting. :)

The final sequence of Book Five: Mistakes is now up. Only one more book to go! Thank you everyone who offered suggestions as to which Wellington Division character should have a pin-up drawing. There is some Nessa art in the works... :)

My very talented writer friend, Kara Ashley Dey was kind enough to interview me about my art and storytelling as a part of her ongoing "Spells of Artistry" series. You can read the interview here ! Be sure to also check out Kara's other fascinating interviews, featuring two artists I admire, Deanna Molinaro and Audrey Knight , and as well as the accomplished musician, Hollan Holmes .

New pages are up! And next week's post will complete Book Five! Since the majority of these pages are roughs, I was thinking it would be fun to do more polished illustrations of the Wellington Division characters. I'd love some input as to who to draw first. Whatever character (and I don't care how random) that has the most nominations by, let's say, Wednesday, will be the subject of a fancy pin-up. :)

Here's a color page for Extraordinary. Also, I just realized how nice the blog templates are now, so I fancied up my blog a bit. :)

New pages are up! Checking in with Jase and his ladies.

I thought I'd do a new profile picture, but I didn't like how it looked tiny (profile size), so I'm going to keep the old one.

New Wellington Division pages!  If anyone is curious, the painting Tearse is looking at on page 551 is of his island.

Here's my pin-up for Mike Maihack's new Cleo in Space book . If you are new to Cleo, you can read Mike's awesome comic  here .

New Wellington Division pages are up. :)

I've been doing a lot of random drawing lately, just trying to spend more time with my sketchbook in hand. Today these ladies appeared.

New Wellington Division pages ! Just a handful this time. Some hackers saved over my homepages a few days ago. If you had browser warnings, never fear, my entire FTP site has been wiped and re-uploaded.

Because the rabbits in my neighborhood need better protection. I'd also like to give a certain little Canadian some just-for-him artwork. If anyone who knows that little Canadian sees this, shh. This will be colored in some way or another soon.

New Wellington Division sequence . Twenty-four pages this week. :)

New Wellington Division sequence . The story gets progressively darker from here on out, but this scene is particularly grim. And not to throw out spoilers, but not every character lives to see the end of the Wellington Division. Yet somehow this creep does! Also, Brian Gardes at Stumptown Trade Review gave the Wellington Division a really cool review . Hurrah! :)

Testing some painting techniques. If I were to spend more time on this, I'd give her a few more necklaces.

A new sequence of the Wellington Division is now up, beginning book five.
