Just came off a portfolio review and feeling extra challenged

This piece was for the theme Filipino Flavored Ice Cream. The composition is super simple but I experimented a bit with the style and concept so feeling super freakin’ proud for stretching myself outside my comfort zone haha

This past weekend was one of my BFFs (is that even still a thing to say?!) 50th birthday. Some years ago, when he visited me in Minnesota, from England, we went to a pumpkin patch, and I took an action shot of him lauched a little pumpkin into the air to get it, first time, into the mouth of a fish painted on a board. He loved the photo! So for his birthday, I did a illustrated version. I ordered a frame from Amazon uk, and had that sent to his house, then emailed this for him to print out.

@donnamakesart LOVE this! So, so, SO simple and so good! Love the expressions, the vibe, and the yellow!

Did this little spot for an illustration challenge with the prompt "The moment before..."

And chose a pug because my latest picture book project is about a pug, so ... a great chance to sneak in some practice drawing pugs! (For this one, I challenged myself to draw from memory, just looked at one or two reference pictures of a plate of cookies and dogs counter surfing to get started.) Still unsure if this is how I want to approach the character and rendering style ... might need to draw a few more pugs.

Loving seeing what everyone's up to this month!

@Melissa-Bailey-0 This is absolutely incredible! We've got several of the "Pig the Pug" books at home (my daughter is a huge fan), and I would way prefer them in your style. Blown away!

[Melissa_Bailey]

@ajillustrates aww, thanks so much! Yes, there are a TON of pug books already out there, so I have to make sure this character isn't too close to Pig the Pug, Puddle Pug, Pug 'n Chick, etc. -- all of which are absolutely amazing character designs! You've given me hope that I'm headed in the right direction. (This guy is a little too animated for the book character, who is laaazy!)

Hi Everyone!!!! Here are a couple new ones. Putting characters in environments is super challenging for me so I'm forcing myself to do it, lol. Both are watercolor with digital enhancements.

Amazing @Melissa-Bailey-0! The precision is spot on with your memory, well done! Are those snickerdoodle cookies? Yumm!

[Melissa_Bailey]

@Jeremy-Ross thanks!

Yes, I’m thinking they’re snickerdoodles — didn’t want to make the cookies too dark or they would be mistaken for chocolate and then I’d get a ton of comments about how you shouldn’t feed chocolate to dogs. Wanted to avoid that if possible!

Hi Everyone,
I am working on finishing up a self publishing project. Anyone use IngramSpark? I am new to the self publishing pod market. Thoughts?

Also, working on teaching for a small art studio in Randolph, NJ. Lots of fun to come up with projects for kids Pre-K-3rd grade.

[Jeremy Ross]

You make placing characters look easy @Tiffany-Thomas!

[donnamakesart]

@williammeany love this. Reminds me of the Arrival of Shaun Tan

[donnamakesart]

@Melissa-Bailey-0 thank you so much 🥰 experimenting on style so that means a lot

[Tiffany Thomas]

@Jeremy-Ross Haha, thanks! I had to cut and move them around in the latest one but I've never drawn a room with multiple people in it, haha. I'm literally amazed at how long I've been avoiding backgrounds
