I've been trying to push my environments a bit while trying to find more consistency. Hopefully it's kind of working? Practice during times like these is both relaxing and rough. lol

More Mermay stuff with some different approaches and ideas...

@ajillustrates Lol~~ omg I find it so hilarious and adorable that he's holding completely wrong cards! Hahaha, great image!

[aprilshin]

@jdubz I love the last one the best. Such great environment design! It's really believable that this place exists. If this was a cartoon, I'd totally watch it, haha.

[ajillustrates]

@aprilshin Thank you! I think this image popped into my head when I thought of the classic "dogs playing poker" painting and it occurred to me, "Hey, dogs would be really terrible at this. I mean, they can't even read."

@xin-li I'm in love with your illustration style. It's so dreamy! The colours are so pretty! Well done!

I got a new iPad and am trying out Procreate. I really love it. It is far more intuitive than Photoshop so far. Here is a quick sketch I threw together in an hour or so...

@demotlj Eastern Bluebirds are nesting in my bird boxes now, too! I love to watch them and enjoyed seeing your watercolor painting

Wow I completely missed April Virtual Studio...but anyway, still working on these from Easter. I was rushed at the end because of greeting card deadlines, so I wasn't thrilled with the outcome but I'm glad that I learned so much working on these two. I'm trying to decide what direction to take with composition and mixed media for my future cards.

Woops...

[Elisheba]

@chrisaakins That's a very cute little mouse!

@Braden-Hallett I love the how strong the character design is. The gesture is just perfect. Awesome Illustration!

@Braden-Hallett storytelling here is poifeck!

Yesterday I got the wonderful chance to see some of my neighbour's calves so I did a gouache painting of them in my sketchbook. I've only started using gouache so I've a LOT to learn:)

[jdubz]

@aprilshin Thanks - yeah I like the idea of watercolors more than I like the outcomes of when I use it

He may not have many repeat clients... but I've heard he gives amazing life advice.

Originally, I was going for a scary character, but this face looks far too friendly.

@xin-li What a lovely composition in the second illustration
