Really nice on the first animal jet one and also like the action/position in the woman with the guns.

Spent day working on t-shirt for hubby - he officially retired today (there goes my quiet time )

[Chip Valecek]

@MissMushy awesome!

A little turtle character. Not much design went into it, just a bit of shy personality.

[Kat]

[Heather Boyd]

Heyo! So, I've been away for a while, since my littlest was born, eight months ago. Anyways, I here getting into things again. My current project is making a skillshare class, combining two of my hobbies, sewing and illustration. I'll be using Spoonflower (which you can print custom fabrics) and my illustrations to make a cute travel felt play set.

Its taking twice as long as I hoped.

Redo of the shy turtle with Gouache. I think I much prefer working with the opacity of it!

[MissMushy]

Worked on a practice editorial illustration (magazine article titled "Morning Routines of Highly successful Women" Also tried to animate as a gif with Procreate which was interesting.

This is my submission to the SCBWI monthly Draw This. I also submitted it to the Art Spot for the Bulletin, which was my original goal, that's why its greyscale.

I finally finished the last illustration that I started for mermay!

I’ve still been illustrating Vikings. This is my seventh iteration and I think my favorite:

Here’s a closeup:

@burvantill Beautiful work! Love your layout, colour, style, storytelling, the whole thing.

[burvantill]

@MattBaker Thanx! I’m working on a second one just like it. I wanted to tweak some stuff.

[MattBaker]

@hannahmccaffery That looks SOOOOO GOOD!!

[MattBaker]

@burvantill Oh wow, that is true dedication!!

[JennyJones]

@StudioLooong Super cute. I love whole thing!

This looks fun, so much exciting art on this thread.
I've been working on evolving my style lately, by experimenting with a variety of digital brushes and attempting to bring a rougher and simplified look to my work, less line art and more selling the image with shapes, light and textures. Still learning but hopefully getting better, looking forward to taking some SVS classes to improve. I've always struggled with colour and light and used to be all about just colouring inside my own linework, but am trying to change and improve.
