...Sorry... *giggle*
Hello, my name is Kristen, and I'm writing this blog to... *sigh* (that sounds weird... let's try this again)
Welcome to the Chronicles of Kristen!
Lol, ok, maybe this isn't a feature film. Hmm... Well, here goes nothing...
First to tell you a little bit about me:
I'm a wife, a merchandiser, and a marketing executive, and I am writing this blog to chronicle my adventures as I pursue a career in freelance illustration, graphic novel, and cute comics.
Recently, I have set myself a goal of sketching daily, and coming up with at least one finished illustration every other day. I have been succeeding, and even on the days I determine as days off, I can't help but think up ideas of techniques and designs. You'll see that my style ranges from reality to comic, and the mediums I use are a mixture of mechanical pencil, watercolors, acrylics, pen & ink, copics, and digital.
Now that I've set a good foundation of drawing regularly I realize what is a graphic novel without a well written story? Blogging is much different than writing a novel, but it does cause you to practice the fundamentals of writing, such as outlines, grammar, paragraph and sentence structure, and spelling.
So, here I am setting another goal to write at least every other day, and include my latest illustrations. I will also try to include what I've learned with each art piece.
To start off here is an art piece I finished yesterday:
I look forward to getting feedback, and if you have any requests, suggestions, or critiques, I would love to hear them.
Signing off,
Iverson Designs
