@angelinakizz I love the white outlines and in-lines. I've included some in my Tiger work (not yet posted). Nice study though.

I’ve been so busy with work and family that I have abandoned my creative practice for a couple of months…

What better way to warm back up to a creative practice than yet another master copy?

This time I decided to copy the cover of The Art of Luca book, painted by the amazingly talented Daniel Lopez Munoz, which I thought would be equally difficult and fun to recreate.

Original on top,

Without further ado…

Hi All -

I’m back with another master study! You might recognize this cover from The Art of Brave, illustrated by the uber-talented Steve Pilcher.

This took me about 2 hours, and although it’s not my best master study, it was certainly good practice nonetheless.

Top original, bottom my study.

Hi All!

I really love this Toy Story cover from The Art of Pixar book, volume II

Original art from Pixar on top, my master study on bottom.

I only used 1 brush, gouache smooth natural from Max Pack brushes. I had a blast with this one.

Enjoy!

Hi Everyone! It’s time for another master copy, this time from the talented debut author/illustrator, Breanna Carzoo!

I really enjoyed her book, Lou, especially the method of cut paper shapes. Looking forward to her next book, Greenlight, to be released on July 18, 2023.

@Jeremy-Ross you inspired me to start in a cover as well. Good practice without the debilitating doubt about my own ideas. It got me creating again. Thanks!!

Awesome @Chantal-Goetheer!

Have you seen this great book, “Harold Loves His Woolly Hat”, from the talented Vern Kousky?

I love the beautiful watercolor style, attention to detail and textures. Soooooo GOOD!
