In the last 2 weeks I've worked on this piece, "Finding Loch Ness" and it is now finished
@Jose-A-Nieto I hadn't realised we have reached the half of this year
-
@nadyart I LOVE this!!!
-
@Pamela-Fraley thank you!
️ -
@nadyart Yeah it's crazy how time flies so fast under the circumstances. By the way love your piece, how did you add those textures to the water? I'd like to give my work a finished similar to that
-
@nadyart Wow, this is so beautiful! Love the moodiness of this piece!
-
@nadyart omg I loooove this too!
-
@Jose-A-Nieto Thank you! The texture in the water comes from a water colour painting I made. I have scanned that painting and put pieces of it as an overlay layer on top of the illustration. It is not at 100% opacity. You can also tinker with the other layer options besides overlay for other effects.
@Pamela-Fraley @aprilshin @Coley Thanks so much!

@nadyart stunning! I love the colors and the overall mood of this image!!

I have given myself the assignment to revisit a classic book cover that I love very much, Pippi Longstocking. After a little bit of character design exploration, here is where I am at (still work in progress, I want to try out a few solutions for the elements in the background and I want to play with the typeface a little longer before choosing).
-
@nadyart this is so lovely, I'm really enjoying your colour palette
-
@carlianne I absolutely love your character design! They’re so cute!
I would also love to make stickers...in the future, if possible for you, it would be amazing if you could share insights of your experience
-
Hey guys!
I wanted to share with you an illustration I did for a slumber party contest I took part of.
Sloth slumber party is just business
-
@carlianne They are so cute! Can you tell us more about your store?
-
@nadyart I love all your illustrations and this one makes me smile. So cute!
-
@nadyart Awesome

I am struggling. Have been for the past few months. Combination of stresses: building new home, selling our old home during a pandemic, scared that one of the viewings might expose us to virus so disinfecting like crazy after every one,now the mad rush to get new place finished enough so we can move in, packing up and trying to avoid turning on TV cos well, you know ... 2020.
I tried drawing something yesterday and felt so defeated cos it was such crap. I am so out of practice and now I am afraid the few skills I managed to acquire in the past years have just gone poof. So if you looked over my shoulders this month - my slumped, weary shoulders - you'd find a blank page with a few meaningless scribbles. I won't bother to post it.

@Mara-Price I haven't opened it yet! But I am making a shopify page that can operate as my store and portfolio. I'm going to sell some greeting card prints, stickers and offer free tutorial downloads. Since I have a large instagram following I wanted to have one link in my bio that covers all those aspects, which I wouldn't have been able to get through an etsy account!
@ngrass I'd be happy to!! I just have to try printing and cutting these first to see how it goes.

@nadyart What a lovely color palette
-
I am currently working on a weekly challenge we do with my friend. This week's topic is Monkeys in Onsen and I thought of making a comic. I can share it once it's done, right now it's in the layout thumbnail stage. Also, I am going back to work on my inking skills a bit more again, so I am combining my Rendering in Pen and Ink book by A. L. Guptill and Jake's inking classes here on svs.

@MissMushy Don't be hard on yourself. You'll bounce back. Try to do something purposely small, like a 5 minute only sketch in your sketchbook. Do that for a few days in a row and I'll bet the juices start flowing again. Spoken from experience.
