If you’ve looked through my blog at all, you’ll notice that my interests are quite varied. Most recently, I become enthralled with digital coloring, specifically coloring comics. I only discovered this about a year ago, after reading the Hi-Fi Color for Comics book by Brian and Kristi Miller. I worked through the book and discovered something new that I love to do!

Then, like a lot of artists, I got busy with life and let some of my art go for a while. But this spring I discovered Twitter, and it all came rushing back as I got to talking to comic and coloring people from all over the world! How exciting! I know I need to work a lot harder and I have a TON to learn, but my enthusiasm level is high and I can’t wait to see where this takes me.

Here’s some of my new digital coloring work!

January 5th, 2010 update – My digital work has all been moved to a new blog, jennie does colors – www.jenniedoescolors.com …check it out over there!

I just had a little woo-hoo crisis when I tried to update my blog! I accidently overwrote a file and had to find the info to re-create it. Advice to all…backup your blog before you update it. But now I can use the Wordpress app for my iPhone! Hopefully that will help me update more often.

Coming up next, some digital art!

Sometimes I forget who I am.

No, not in THAT sense, but in the sense that I forget what makes me tick. I get caught up in everything that’s going on in my life and forget to spend time doing certain things that I really want to do. This blog is an example of that…I’m kind of a dabbler when it comes to art, and my newest work is at odds with a lot of the work I’ve shown here.

But it’s still me.

So I’m going to be adding my digital art to this site soon, so you can see another of my many sides. The lesson is, don’t be afraid to be you – and that means ALL of you!
