@baileymvidler Love the fox's face

[kylebeaudette]

I'm a teacher with an online class, having the students design characters this week. This is an example I gave them. I wanted to show them something way out there from what I think they'll be making. They all draw anime girls with fox ears, wolves, and zombies

Still trying to cath up on Inktober 52.

I've been doodling around in Black & White the last couple days toying with the idea of spot illustration. Probably more appropriate for Middle Grade, maybe? I'm enjoying this so far--it's a lot faster than the full blown color renderings, that's for sure! Whee!

[chrisaakins]

@Coreyartus I think they look great!

I'm new here and this is my first post. This is a drawing I did yesterday for Mother's Day

And so you brought me... A sheep...

[MirkaH]

I submitted this to the Bright UK illustration #drawthisinyourstyle challenge. It was fun to do, and am working on a new dummy book to submit to agents.

I was watching the creating characters when I started drawing one of the video’s references. He quickly became a super hero...

I am liking the pencil shading under the ink....must try this more...

I decided that until I am feeling inspired again, I’ll just keep painting the birds in my yard. Maybe my lack of inspiration is due to the weather — this is a true-life painting from this morning’s snow. Will the sun never shine in western NY?

@Oliver-Itson very sweet.

I’ve been playing. I needed a third image to fill in a gap I have on my kitchen wall. The other two images are of some paisley pigs that I bought for my mother before she passed. I wanted something similar but not another pig. I like bears. The first one is okay but I think the second one is the winner.

Gotta put some cats in the picture frames

Spending quarantine working on new portfolio pieces!

Lessons learned here: muted colors are okay too. Doesn't have to be bright all the time.

@baileymvidler Loving this so much. Even though the orange flowers are muted, it really pops against the green! Beautiful!

Fading dreams followed him down the hallway,
as he gradually emerged from his slumber.

A little experiment with a new technique: pencil linework done in analog + digitally applied color.

[chrisaakins]

@Elena-Marengoni I really like the effect!

[Elena Marengoni]

@chrisaakins thank you!!!

Most stuff I do is monochrome so I thought I'd go wild and pump things up by making some paint with the pinkiest pink pigment. Slightly frustrating that my camera phone cannot comprehend how pink it is.

I eat hummus and soup so I can get the free mixing tubs that come with the food.

A rock study..

Final defeated the Inktober 52 color month!
