It's December, time to unleash winter/holiday themed pieces! Had this fun little idea when I was finishing up my Slowvember artwork. I can't wait to devour some yummy Holiday treats!

Holiday Chocolate Mousse.

@mirkah Thanks for the input!

@withlinesofink Thanks. I haven't painted in a long time and I actually feel like this piece isn't as good as ones I did a couple years ago. I couldn't get past the "dodge and burn" look. I don't actually use those tools, but what I did try had the same effect. yuck My shadows are far too dark, huh? I will try again for the 'Independent' theme.

@MirkaH ok, thanks!

Had to do one of my boston terrier Brewster as a kaiju. Destroyer of cities and shoes.

@Javier-Algarra Excellent! Just what I was thinking, this will look really nice once it is fleshed out.

I made another video the other day showing some basic colouring techniques- I hope it is useful to someone: https://youtu.be/ajjt_HOqQWg.

More sketches I've done are also on my Tumblr blog: https://thimblefolio.tumblr.com/
I want to get doing mini daily goal assignments toward little story based projects next. I was watching a video I bought on Gumroad from Titus Lunter on getting into the flow yesterday and I realize I need to just focus on one project for a bit but break it up into manageable chunks so I don't get overwhelmed by the scope in my head.

@Jake-Parker thanks Jake!, I will take your advice.

@Charlie-Eve-Ryan ha, ha good advice;)

@DanetteDraws Ha, well I'm still trying to convince my hubby so who knows! 😃

@Lee-White Lol I thought of you the second it loaded. I know you are itching to fix that first post!!

My tablet Clip Studio Paint program background is charcoal gray so everything looks "framed" when I paint it and then I post it to a white background and the whole design gets lost. Grr, sorry 😃

@RobinSlee Thanks for the feedback! I'll grab some night references and work on that.

@Camomilla beautiful sketches, Camomilla!

@audrey-dowling It's beautiful! It looks to me that the front fairy is glancing at the hunter. It's just beautiful.

What a beautiful drawing! 🙂

@MirkaH I love the details on the dog, beautiful!

thanks @drawingmelee! I'm still working on tightening up my skill and style.

@Jana Thanks, so kind! 😃
