Sketchbook

@Kasey-Snow Thanks! I am torn because I was going for an old faded christmas card look but it does still bug me that certain spots could use a bump I agree.

Couldn't work it in in time for the prompt but this came to mind and ties in with my snowmen. I am working on trying to put in more expressions and movement/action into my work. Right now most of it is very static. I think I will paint this one out might be fun.

Prompt so you can see backstory:

@Stephanie-Hider Ooh, this looks beautiful! I'll look forward to seeing the finished product - this reminds me of the Golden Age illustrators's styles...And I'm partial to a blue, green & orange color palette

[Stephanie Hider]

@amberwingart Thank you so much! I colored it to match the colors of the snowman behind Santa as if this was another page and he is on his way.

Playing around.

Made some changes to my design website so decided to practice my style more with a real project and create a graphic for the home page. The first is one I have used in the past long ago and the second the most recent. Such a difference.

The first version of your Little Red is very unique!

[Stephanie Hider]

@Naroth-Kean Thanks! Do you mean the one with the trees or the one with the flowing cape?

[Naroth Kean]

sorry I mean the 2nd one with the flowing cape and tail. I love the movement and how you utilized the shapes.

[Stephanie Hider]

@Naroth-Kean Thanks! Was a lot of fun doing that one. It's much more graphical I think than action based I guess.

My love sketches ended up turning in the puppy one.
