I had a rare day off so I thought I would watch some more of @SarahLuAnn 's illustrator art course and learn some more illustrator. Here is my first successful venture using the pen and pencil tools in Illustrator.

@chrisaakins Thanks! I MADE them look good, haha (That's an illustrator's job, right to make reality a little better-looking?)
That Waldo vibe was exactly what I was going for - wanted to have them stand in a bigger crowd in stead of pose as an isolated group on a (white) background. I'm in the bottom right, with my wife and kid.

Working on a watercolor of Aesop's Fable of the fox and the crow. I'm posting this now because the next stage is adding color and I will probably wreck it!

Working on a series of star-themed puns. This one is: Flamed Out Rock Star.

I've practiced a bit of perspective lately and had a lot of fun doing the layout for this one. In the end I ended up getting so confused with how the light and shadows would behave in this kind of space I think I really need to make some studies and learn more about it so I don't struggle as much next time.

Finished my series of greeting cards that will go up for sale on my Etsy site as soon as the paper arrives and I can print them out and make some product photography. Woohoo! I did them all live on my art stream, and I'm happy with how they turned out. I think they will go well with my calendar that's already for sale. I'm getting braver with the amount of detail but making stronger choices to "simplify" parts of things, too. I'm enjoying this aspect of illustration quite a bit, and will probably pursue more of it in the future.

Last two illustration of candy/food characters done.
I am now much more proficient in illustrator.

Great work all! I've been drawing these goofy trucks in my sketchbook. Will be starting some Inktober drawings soon.

@Coreyartus Beautifully done. I keep an illustrated nature journal and there are a lot of birds on my pages so I especially appreciate your work.

I painted my Aesop’s Fable piece that I posted earlier I. The thread. It’s traditional watercolor. One thing I still clearly need to figure out is how to photograph my pieces better. My scanner is old and does a poor job so I bought soft lights to photograph the pieces and still end up struggling with white balance. I may have to spring for a good scanner.

Working on getting down a character for a friends story about her grandmother and the special doll she got for one Christmas.

Trying hard to keep it loose and messy, which is a challenge with digital when there is no excuse for less than perfect, lol.

The first assignment of the illustration course I started last week was to answer the question what my relationship to illustration looks like. There are so much to explore, learn and see!

Preping for Inktober ️Back again with these two kids. Trying to push myself to draw full illustrations and characters with backgrounds. Aaaaaahhh we’ll see how it goes
