Doodle Days 6.10.10

When was the last time one of these happened?

Way too long ago. I actually have this one sketchbook filled with random book sketches, but I haven't gotten around to scanning any of them recently. I did however scan this one, and actually colored it! So it's not really a doodle anymore... Oh well, let's just go along with it.

Another doodle day featuring Patch & Nora from Becca Fitzpatrick's Hush, Hush. Now that I think about it, that one sketchbook has a lot of drawings of these two... I think it has to do with the anticipation of Crescendo...yeah, that's probably it. You can check out the Prologue and First Chapter here by the way.

I'll be sure to scan another book next time :) we do need change every now and then.

Doodle Days 2.8.10

Hey guys, just bringing you some scene sketches from Becca Fitzpatrick's Hush, Hush.

I swear, this book has some of the hottest scenes while keeping both characters fully clothed. It's hard to keep myself from drawing it on a constant basis. I mean it's not just the physical aspect of these scenes that make them hot, there's such emotional tension built up in each one, it's just beautiful.

Anyway, if you haven't done so, I would highly recommend you read this book. Here's a link to my review of it if I haven't convinced you yet.

Remember to let me know if there's anything you want me to Read&Draw

Hush, Hush- REVIEW

Lorena's Review of Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

So every once in a while I tend to find one of those books that well, unless I finish it I just can't work. Hush, Hush is my latest one. Everything about this book just called to me. The story, the characters, the cover! Everytime I tried to put it down I would find myself sneaking glances at it till I had it back in my hands. It was that good.

Love was never part of the deal for Nora, her all work and no play attitude never left her interested in boys. Until Patch came around. With a smile and a look, Nora was caught, against her better judgment, by his attraction. But after a series of strange encounters, she's caught in a web of lies in which she doesn't know who to trust. She's falling for the fallen, and it just may cost her more than she's willing to pay.

If you haven't done so already, go out and get yourself a copy of this book. It really is not one to miss. It's such an moving story with such a well paced plot. I literally couldn't put it down. The characters are so beautifully crafted, but in ways that you just wouldn't expect. Patch at a first glance seems like your everyday bad boy, but the layers of character that he has are just beautifully interlaced, I honestly felt he'd fly right out of the book. Hush, Hush isn't all rainbows and romance. It's dark, it's deep, and the mystery of the story is so rich, the whole "one more chapter before bed" thing isn't going to work. You'll keep turning and turning till you find yourself reading the back flap, trying to find more story to read, trying to take in as much as you can. I know I did.

There are no credentials as to who would enjoy this book, it has something for everyone. It's got action, it's got romance, mystery, revenge, chases, true love, miracles. Brownie points if you got the reference. Point is, it has just a little bit of everything for everyone to enjoy.

Hush, Hush has a sequel, Crescendo, in the works to be published Fall of 2010.
