Churchy-Art

I have some more art to show you! I hope it doesn't get boring. Firstly, the Las Vegas Temple. My friend Megan just got married there, she was my best friend in high school. I couldn't make it to the wedding so i wanted to give her something more special than a gift card to Target (even though those are awesome wedding gifts).

Next is a project Mom Rucker commissioned. She's teaching the Young Women in her ward next week and wanted to talk about the 10 commandments. So she had me draw 10 illustrations that go along with 10 stories that help you memorize the order of the 10 commandments. This one is my favorite.

And here are the rest. 1. Sun, 2. Shoe, 3. Tree, 4. Door, 5. Hive, 6. Sticks, 7. Heaven, 8. Freight, 9. Line, 10. Hen

Tablet Take One

So here are some pictures I've done on my new graphic tablet! I still need a lot of practice and to take a class to learn some new techniques, and of course PRACTICE some more but this is what i have so far. Enjoy!

This one is called snow angel. I liked the idea of having a "snow angel" actually be an angel! I did this around new years and I was really missing snow.

This is my ballerina doll I drew for the book my mom is writing. She has two other versions, a cheerleader and a baseball player. I'll get around to coloring those soon. I think I need to push the darks a little on this one and the hair still bugs me, but other than that I'm happy with it!

This is a work in progress, called "He Loves Me." It makes me think of that part in Beauty and the Beast when she's singing in the field with the daffodils flying around her. I love that movie! Her face and body is done, I just need to fix the dress and obviously the field/background.

Christmas!

Merry late Christmas (and New Year...) from the Ruckers!

We had a lovely holiday season! We woke up early Christmas morning so we could get to Jake's parents early enough to make some breakfast knottybunz! But we opened some presents on our own before we left.

Jake got me a beautiful and amazing graphic tablet to help me do some digital painting. I love it to pieces and I use it everyday! I've finished some paintings and I'll post them later. He also got me all of the Harry Potter movies! He knows me too well :) I love the background of this picture-our fake fire screen saver. It crackled and everything!

Jake got Xbox live for a year, some caramel popcorn seasoning that he gets every time we go to the movies but we can't find in stores anywhere (thank you amazon.com) and tennis rackets!

We also got some beautiful decorations from Jake's family to help cover the bare walls in our apartment, and awesome kitchen stuff from my family.

We had fun hanging out with Jake's family all day. The only bummer was that Jake had to work that afternoon. Seriously, who makes people work on Christmas?? That's what happens when you work for a place that's open 24/7. Here are some pictures of the rest of the day.


No pictures for New Years Eve, but we celebrated the new year with Josh and Rebecca. It was nice and relaxing, except for when the guys started to play with fireworks!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and Happy 2010!!!
