Hi Everyone! I've been dipping my toe into some fan art this month for the first time (haha, thanks a lot @Jeremiahbrown, the can of worms is totally open now!). Turns out it's pretty fun!!! Here are a few of the pieces I've made so far. They are all a mix of traditional watercolor and digital enhancements.

Been keeping busy working in 2 children's books this month and last month The incredible Blankie (self published author) and Cookies & Company for Emden Goose (small publisher)

@Tiffany-Thomas I can't wait to see more! Keep them coming! (No pressu..., well... minimal pressure because they're awesome!)

I'm enrolled in a business and illustrated merchandise course this month so it's quite a lot of writing and less drawing this month for me. I've tried to print some illustrations and put them in frames to see what they would look like. They are cheap frames and a rubbish home printer and office paper but it was just to get an idea of sizes (these are 8" x 10").

@PieterVanDerBeek Congratulations lovely illustration

[Tiffany Thomas]

@Jeremiahbrown hahaha, thanks!

@Asyas_illos 'ssmpop' is such a great sound!

My latest pencil illustration. Unfortunately theres a line running through the image. Didnt quite manage to photoshop it away. Also the back wheel is a bit off. Apart from that I think i am happy with it.

@lizardillo I’m glad you think so I wasn’t sure if i was writing it the way I was hearing it my head! dang onomatopoeia lol

@lizardillo OH MY GOSH! I LOVE that owl totem with the woodpeckers!! Do you have that for sale somewhere?

[Kim Rosenlof]

@burvantill I was thinking the same thing!

[brettb_draws]

@lizardillo Really nice idea with the woodpeckers ! They both already look great in those frames to me, so I think any upgrades you make with the frames and paper can only elevate them even more

[lizardillo]

@Kim-Rosenlof @burvantill no I have not yet, they only exist as these. I was thinking of getting a few prints professionally made but a little cautious as not sure if anyone would want them! Thank you that’s really given me a boost to do it.

I will have a look at printers and see about getting a limited run done and keep you up to date. I have been trying to set up a shop on my Squarespace site so I will carry on trying to get my head around that. I’m a bit groggy from my Covid shot yesterday so I’m not sure I can tackle that today

If anyone has any recommendations of good art printers in the UK then that would be lovely thanks.

[lizardillo]

@brettb_draws thank you. We are quite into bird spotting and nature so I like drawing the subject. The bird at the bottom trying to hold them up is a Goldcrest, the UK’s smallest bird. I’m going to look into getting a short print run done professionally. I think would probably have to sell unframed as the frames are quite heavy and bulky to post.

I promised trees and cows so here you go. The cow is actually a Scottish Highland bull - I am in western NY state but a local Scot native raises these. I learned that speed painting houses is easier than speed painting woods because the trees end up looking like a blob.
