Sea Monster

Just a drawing I did, maybe I'll turn it into a painting.

Battle - Done

Here it is completed.  I want to go back in and maybe change some things digitally, inject some blue into the sky.  Play a bit more with the lighting, but overall I am pleased.  My friend who received this as a gift, loved it.  So I am happy!

Update on the battle

Here's an update! I started just yesterday, and it's progressing well.  I may go in digitally and finish it off that way.  We'll see!

To War!

Latest update! Colour schemes coming soon!

Lemur, Ladybug, Meerkat, and Honeybadger

Here's the next drawing I'm working on.  Still working out how it's going to all fit together, but I'm pretty happy with the overall idea!

I will be finishing up the painting I posted a few days ago, so hopefully I can post that over the weekend.

Bowling Alley

Here's my next piece.  I still have to finish a few things on the last drawing, but I wanted to get started on this one soon. The idea is to some how incorporate the holstein cow into the overall drawing. I then asked what else she likes, and I got a good list:

• Game of Thrones
• Breaking Bad
• Bowling
• Regular Show

At first I was thinking of somehow turning Walter White into a cow, and Jessie into a rooster.  After doing a bunch of thumbnails, I ended up liking the idea of cows bowling.  It's funny to me.  So I created this bowling alley, filled with characters from the shows she enjoys. Next up, the watercolour!

Now with colour!

I ended up doing some more washes last night, though I made the mistake of going too dark too soon.  So I had to scrap the one I did before, and restarted again.  Here's the result.

I'm going to play a bit more with it, and use some coloured pencils to bring things out.

Goat on Hippo - First Pass

Here's an update on my last post, ended up doing some washes on it last night.   I will do a bit more tonight, then begin experimenting with colours.

Goat on Hippo

One of my friends requested a drawing from me.  She really didn't know what what she wanted.  I started to think about animals she enjoyed, since she was an animal lover.  I know she likes both pygmy goats and hippos, so I ended up deciding to draw both of those animals.  Now if it was me, I probably would have had both animals in smoking jackets, smoking pipes together while reading the the newspaper or a good book.

Here's the initial thumbnail sketch.

A few studies of both the hippo and goat.

 Here's the first pass on the drawing.  I ended up exagerating the ears of the goat and a few features of the hippo to really sell it.

I'll show my watercolour progress soon.

Art Exchange

I was part of an art exchange, and really enjoyed doing this.  Though I was a bit stressed on what to draw for my match.  So after spending a day doodling with pencils, pastels, and finally watercolours.  I finally went with this idea.  I'm happy with how it turned out. I admire Scott C. 's artwork, so I felt that style would suit this best.
