Working on a portrait of my granddaughter. The composition 2.0 class is really helping me out on this one.

I am combining my January contest entry with a postcard mailer that i promised myself that I would get done this month. I narrowed down my thumbnails this morning and did a value and color sketch. Time to art this baby! .. and then mail it before I get cold feet.

A new hot pot place opened in our town, and I wanted to draw it.
Working on a scene where kids of all nationality try out Chinese hot pot!

Also I'm working on a scene where little ballerinas are practicing, but a wacko kid and a possum ballerina doesn't follow instructions. Just having fun with this image!

Finally, I wanted to do illustration for the children's classic story, The Happy Prince.
I tried to capture the golden, beautiful prince statue tenderly smiling to his dear friend, swallow. Hopefully, I can finish all of them to the level of my liking!

I'm putting together the last of four "seasonal" riffs that I apparently fell into after doing two tangentially thematic one offs for fun. I was trying out Max Ulichney's new watercolor brushes and just sorta kept going... hehe... I dunno what they could possibly be used for, but I'm really enjoying myself.

More work on Teddy the Explorer. I haven't painted a real portrait in a while and this is very fun.

Still working on the map and her little toes. I may draw in some flowers to make her look more feminine. Someone suggested this because they thought she looked like a boy. What say you, SVS peeps?

@chrisaakins this is gorgeous! I love the colors and being a photo realistic artist myself, I definitely enjoy seeing your approach here ️
