Brown Paper - Tumblr Posts

I got a new notebook today, and boy do I have some scribbles to share! :D

Uh oh, the cat's got my tongue

This fella's been stalking around the back of my mind these last few days, so I thought I'd draw him now (it's an especially fitting moment considering the fact that I'm experiencing some insomnia)

When I was a baby my family often associated me with ladybugs, although nowadays I identify more with foxes

So naturally I combined the two :]

Hey, remember when everyone was drawing a bunch of different characters wearing that one specific dress?

Yeah I jumped on the bandwagon as well

(then promptly forgot to share the drawing until a good few months after the trend had passed)

Sorry I haven't been posting all that much lately, please accept these creatures I doodled while halfway paying attention to a youtube video tonight ^^"

I got a brown paper sketchbook so I could try drawing with highlights as well as shading. I'm not sure if it's really for me, but I'll try to fill the book up anyway.

Snow White and Rose Red was one of my favourite fairy tales when I was little. They're usually depicted as a blonde with very pale skin and a black-haired girl with rosy cheeks. I'm fairly sure I imagine them as a blonde and a redhead because I have vague memories of playing a make-believe game based on the story with my little sister, who has fiery red hair. (As a child I had pale blonde hair.)

In other news, I now have a day job, hooray! I'm working as a waitress in a vintage tea room, so if you're in Bath you should come and find us up near the fashion museum, if you want to see me in a headscarf and bright red lipstick.
