Back to it!
Sunday, December 22nd, 2019Phew! I got a full-time job last year after several years of trying to work from home….. and that job, while I adore it, really took my art energy away! I’ve managed to do a few little portraits through the year, but nothing near my old output.
However, in 2020, at least for a few months, I’ll be going part-time and I will have a lot more energy for drawing. So if anyone would like to commission a portrait or a tiny guitar, go for it! :D
Here are two of the drawings I’ve done. A third is a Christmas gift so I’ll have to wait til next week to post it. <3
-
- Ziggy! This beautiful cat lives with my pal Mike Vennart in England. I drew this mini portrait for Mike’s birthday in 2019. Prismacolor pencils and white paint pen on 6×6″ paper. August 2019.
-
- Clayton the Goat! He lives on astronomer Phil Plait’s ranch. I did a quick sketch of Clayton just because I hadn’t drawn a goat before. Prismacolor pencils on 6×6″ copy paper. December 2019.
