@Kim-Rosenlof Thank you! The colour palette story was a bit funny because I randomly colour picked from a photograph of a rambutan fruit on the table but it ended up being one of my favorite palettes.

I came across the #storystorm challenge on Twitter, organized by PB author Tara Lazar. During the month she invited guest bloggers to write inspirational writing posts on how to get ideas and stuff. It's amazing! When I came across it it was already the 7th but I decided to get on it anyway!

My main goal this year to to finish more illustrations. I really struggle with trying to get whats in my imagination down in pixels and then painting is a whole other problem. Lee’s advice from 3PP about doing 20 master copies from the experts in our industry really rang true. I’ve only done a few at this point so I want to make that a goal this year as well.

@Melissa_Bailey Was just scrolling through, catching up on the forum and this mouse just jumped out and grabbed my heart. Well done all around!

@kylebeaudette HEY! You're in one of my FB groups. I am still in love with this character! She's amazing. She reminds me of the Kitchen Witch my dad got me from his last trip to Germany.

[Melissa_Bailey]

@stephanie aww, thanks so much!

[Asyas_illos]

@stephanie oh it’s been around a while I’ve just taken over the reins! But you’re welcome it is a nice vibe️

Going for humor.

Wow! It’s only four days into February and this thread is smoking.

I continue to work on my watercolor illustrated journal and I did this of my dog chasing shadows of birds across the snow. He leaves the actual birds alone but if he sees a shadow, he pounces on the shadow! (He can entertain himself for hours doing this.)

Hey guys! Happy February! I just finished this piece yesterday after watching some of Rebecca Green's Patreon.

I'm not really in love with the colors, so I think I'm going to do something crazy and paint it again with a different technique.

[Amando Chapa]

Here's a piece I did for work! We're doing a Valentine's Day merch collection and this is one of my favorite illustrations from it. I've redacted any graphic assets that pertain to my clients

Here's another favorite from a recent hiking inspired collection

and finally, a sketch for one of last years SVS design prompts that I never got around to finishing

[GabeRobinson]

@demotlj That's awesome!!

[Valerie Light]

@Asyas_illos I think you'd be so good at patterns!

[demotlj]

@GabeRobinson Thanks! It’s always fun to draw something you love … and I love watching my dog be silly.
