Jam day with Sipsetti

Sometimes it's good to plan nothing before you start painting. This one was very much fun to work with, and I really like the outcome even though it was totally random. I wanted to draw jam jars and a cute girl with ruffled up hair, but that's pretty much everything I planned beforehand. Everything else - made up as I went. My favourite strategy for everything.

Sipsetti with lots and lots of jam~ The text on the jars says 'strawberry' and 'blackcurrant'. Sipsetti's hair is actually mint green, but it would have looked too out of place here so I made it pale lilac.

What's your favourite flavour of jam, by the way? I love raspberry and cherry. <3 Blueberry is great, too.

Sipsetti sketches

Sketches scribbled in class today, mainly featuring Sipsetti and a roommate. Chibi characters are much faster to sketch these days, I want to do some postcard designs with them. The 'stealing cookies' one came out pretty cute, might actually re-draw it in bigger size. ^_^

The big picture is the lineart of a watercolour illustration I'm doing, girl couple on a magical horseback ride! I haven't drawn horses since I was 13 or 14, by the way. It was nice after such a while~ I was a horse-crazy girl in my teens! But horseback riding was too expensive, so I did it once a week only for two years. TT___TT I love horses.

Scared someone

I had completely forgotten about this drawing that I made sometime in November, maybe. I'll finish it someday once I figure out what to put beside the black shadowy thing. I somehow lost interest towards the end and buried it under various other unfinished drawings. ^^;

She's a comic character from me and my friend's pet project. I don't want to reveal much yet, but she's a nerdy girl who's deadly afraid of vampires for some reason. Then a real vampire enters her everyday life... And hilarity ensues. Her name is Sipsetti. Yes it's a real, old-fashioned Finnish name, stop laughing. Since it has somewhat become my nickname these days I decided to give the name to her. I hope I'll be done with this Thesis thing once and for all so I can continue with the comic~
