Floral doodles

I was so inspired the other day in my art class! I am really enjoying doing blind sketches. I find that sometimes I am better at accurately understanding and translating the dimensions of an object onto paper when I look more at the object and less at the paper.

Maybe my practice using a Bamboo wacom tablet has helped me know what will show up on the paper even though I am not looking at my hand drawing it. Does that make sense? It has something to do with hand-eye coordination and trusting my hand's ability to translate what I am seeing, or what I want to see. So thank goodness for my little tablet!

I sketched these up this morning after my friend left, and before my first class.

You can buy the prints/phone cases on my Society6 site here!

Enjoy!

Baby's Breath

Leaves (ferns?)

Pizza! (Somewhat random. Not floral. Except for the basil... sort of)

Lavender

A mason jar!!

A mason jar VASE. This one I really really like. 

French Macarons (Better than the pizza?)

I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and do something to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. day on Monday. Too often people only see this day as a break from work or classes. Let's be appreciative and go out our way to show kindness to someone on Monday! 

New stuff! All the time!

Besides the fact that I have been diagnosed with corneal ulcers, things are going really well!

I am now enrolled in an art class, which I love. Soon I will hopefully post the different things I have been doing for that class, which will be so outside of my comfort zone, but also so necessary and so awesome.

Expect new and awesome stuff from me, and hopefully a lot more hand-drawn illustration since I am back at the dorm now and away from the awesome drawing tablet.

For now, here's this!

And I made a new website. Now working together, I have drawingsbymary.com and maryvertulfo.com which will both act as creative portfolios for me. Don't ask why I have two, I went a little domain name crazy.

TA DA

Dresses!

Inspired by the Draw this Dress project that Verabee always does. She is fantastic!

Prom inspired dress

Inspired by a 1950's edition of Vogue. The original is STUNNING

Something I would wear every day. 

School starts again soon, but I don't know whether that means you should be expecting more or less personal art out of me. We'll see!
