@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 (Iām with you ā 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!

This month I completed a new birthday card design for the retailers who sell my cards (I work traditionally on not-very-traditional Grafix Dura-lar .005 double-sided matte drafting film using mostly colored pencils and pan pastels) I also finally made a template for my social media page banner so I can change it up from time to time. Added the latest birthday card, Teacupcake, to the banner. I discovered that I need to go back and re-learn some art fundamentals (as applied to film) because I still struggle with things like basic shading (I sometimes get black uncontrollable streaks etc). That's what I'll be focusing on for the rest of June.

Hi everyone! The last few months have been rough. I feel like I hit a (incredibly solid) creativity wall as well as a style crisis. I took a break, gathered up some more creative currency, and I think I'm finally moving again. I'm glad I have svs to see the work others like me are creating!
-
More exploration in watercolour. Laying it down, finding something, then adding to it so it's a character, and finally inking. Fun way to work!

@kylebeaudette The texture of the paper matches the freeness of your line-work. What type of paper and ink are you using?
