I drew this in my digital sketchbook tonight and my husband said, "You aren't going to post that on your thing are you?" "thing" equals Instagram in this scenario.
Me: Yes. Why?
Spouse: It's scary.
Me: It's just a hyena. And it's bad ass.
Spouse: but it's too scary for the kids.
Me: Honey. There are no children looking at my Instagram.
Spouse: What do you mean? You draw for kids all the time.
Me: Yes. Yes I do.
Spouse: I'm sorry.
Then I proceeded to show him my Colin bear killing butterflies and how many likes I received with that image compared to all of the "nice" things I've posted over the past few years. There is a pattern evolving. My images that portray chaos, meanness and mischief are getting more attention than the nice stuff. I'm not sure whether to role with it or mourn.

These past few months have been really hard. I’ve been ill and in and out of the hospital and losing part of my vision in my right eye so I haven’t been doing much art work but tonight I really felt like I needed to get some out of my head so I worked on some more landscape stuff. It’s not perfect but I am happy with it

Traditional inks and shades commission turned to digital art.
Tried a new simple technique on this one since the budget was a bit low and I really wanted to deliver.

@ambiirae This is really cool.
I hope you feel better soon.

Here are some characters I've been working on for one of my picture book manuscripts. Trying so hard to make my digital style look less digital!
-
@ambiirae beautiful, majestic, and soothing. Hope it gave you some much-needed art therapy! And hope your health gets sorted soon and you can start feeling better.

@ellenseal14 really cute characters!
What program are you working in? This is just me, but I find that the brushes I use make all the difference (I’m with you — I want my digital art to look as traditional as possible).

Followed Lee's 'loosening up in watercolour' class and made this. I drew a quick doodle and then painted it. I might work on it some more, but here's where it is after about an hour or so
-
More watercolour from tonight.

@kylebeaudette I love how this turned out! I really want to take that loosening up class too. I love Lee's work so much.

Hi! I took a sketchbook sketch to a colour finish for practise. There always feels like so much potential in a sketch. I like the black line so it was a good practise.

@ellenseal14 The only spider I've ever seen that I like lol - I'm terrified of them!

@kylebeaudette awesome, love the feel of traditional media!

Swan princess. I have been working on some fairytale art for my portfolio because I would like to work on a fairytale book someday.

@Melissa-Bailey-0 Thanks! I'm working in procreate & I definitely agree that the brushes make a huge difference! My main problem is that I keep going back and fixing things & try to make them too perfect...but I do that with painting too so...merp.
@Janette Thanks so much! It's tricky to draw spiders cute enough to distract from people's tendency to be repulsed. lol!
-
@kylebeaudette I love your illustrative style it seems a bit shell sylverstein-ish too me!

I am working my way through the Picture Book Pro class. -
