The original plan for the 2nd week of exploring illustration as a career was to purely focus on the human anatomy - recognizing landmarks, memorizing bone structures and muscles, and proportions. But to my delightful surprise, I received my first paid commission
The deadline was a bit tight as the client requested a Christmas drawing of her mom with the client's two kids (Grandma with the little ones).I haven't drawn something cute and warm in years but I could not turn down a request like this. The illustration needed to convey warmth, love, and happiness - a precious moment of sentiment that accurately represents the joy one has with with loved ones. This has been a difficult year for many and I can sense the client wanted something special for her mom. So I communicated almost on a daily basis with the client and her husband on brainstorming, progress, and feedback. It was such a fun and exciting experience to partner with them in making something meaningful.
On Christmas morning, I got a text from the client - she attached a picture of her mom holding the framed print of this illustration with tears on her face - smiling. It was truly touching and I felt incredibly honored to be part of this moment. My prayers and hope for her and all our loved ones - to be filled with strength, comfort, unity, and hope
️Left Corporate America to pursue a career in illustration

@Jeremy-Ross it looks great! Love the colours. Looks like a book I could buy. At first glance the ax blade of the tin man looked like Dorothy's foot and it seemed odd. On closer inspection I understood it was the blade. Maybe her dress could be more seperate from the ax. I like how the characters look at each other or somehow are connected. The lion seems more seperate though.

@Jeremy-Ross another great cover! The red catches the eye and conveys the disaster part well. The cat gets a bit lost. Had to look a bit for the disastrous pet.

I have been drawing more horses and ponies. I really like drawing them.

@Asyas_illos I'd love to see your work in puzzles! I don't have experience in this but I'm sure there is a market for your work in it. I love this piece BTW! Such a beautiful natural fade of greens, limited palette, love it.
