A Step Towards Clay!

My six year old niece came to visit last week, she loves art so I picked up some Sculpey for us to play with. We had a great time sitting outside in the sun sculpting! Here's my butterfly which I have yet to paint. This is one of the items I've been wanting to do in clay to hang on the wall. I'm glad I remembered to dig a nail hole in it at the last minute!

Here is another digital illustration which I had a lot of fun with. I started with a pencil sketch of the bee then once I redrew him in Illustrator I created the rest of the scenery, then I recreated it, then recreated it again, and again, and here it is. I decided on flowers, you can't have a bee without flowers and what better color flowers than purple! A hive, every bee needs a home. Additional bees because a bee needs his friends! And sun, ahhhhh sun! As it's getting cooler out nothing sounds better than finding a warm spot in the sun!

I also reworked the background of the cat illustrations and added an orange kitty to the mix.

Cat Illustration

Recently I've been sketching some cute animal characters. I decided to scan them in and turn them into digital illustrations. Here is the first one of a sweet white cat with a pink flower and a colorful butterfly.

I'm excited to have added a print of this little guy to my shop over on etsy!

This was done for the Paint and Draw Together art challenge. I haven't worked with colored pencils in a while and it was fun to do so again. Also, working in colored pencils is something I could do while relaxing on the couch without making a mess heh heh.

This is an impasto painting which I've never done before, well, on second thought I guess I have, it's just been an incredibly long time. Anyway...I had so much fun slathering the paint on!
