Have you ever seen anything so cutie patootie, full of personality and with just the right amount of homespun look as these characters? Great for boys OR girls!
Thumbs up to etsy artist Rachie1118!!!
works in progress – it’s a bit sketchy
This is a preliminary pencil study for a commission i’m working on. It will be very large, 48″ x 48″ when complete. There is a lot of nature going on in the full panel, this is just a crop i did for the client so they could see the style of drawing i was proposing. The part shown above is only about 1/6th of the whole piece. This will be done on a large sheet of watercolor paper that i have to buy on an enormous roll because the dimensions are above average. It will have a deckle/torn edge all around and be mounted on top of a darker mat board then framed.The framed piece will be LARGE and in charge.
See? i told you guys i was busy making art even thought i’ve had no new shop listings in a while!
i have 4 other commissions that i’ll be able to post progress on in the next week or so, so stay tuned. And i have 2 completed commissions i can’t post yet “just in case”, because they were ordered as father’s day gifts and haven’t been given yet. After dad’s day, i’ll share.
The new projects are all VERY different from one another and will be keeping me on my toes! Hope i can keep up!
works in progess – anything goes
i have really been leaning toward children’s artwork the past couple months. i think i have kids on the brain. this piece was an exercise in letting my mind wander and just sketching whatever wanted to come out of my hand in the moment….thus the title, “anything goes.” It’s basically just a brain dump on paper with a super whimsical spirit.
Why a dog? i have no idea.
Why rainclouds instead of white fluffy ones? i really don’t know.
Maybe i could have this drawing analyzed to see what’s actually brewing in my brain? ……nah! i think i prefer to leave it a mystery. I’d rather hear what you all might make of it. Tell me some stories as to what you see going on here….leave your ideas in the comments if you like!
At any rate, i am going to be offering this B&W version, ready for coloring, as a free download here on the blog over the weekend. If anyone colors one and sends it to me, i’ll be sure to add your interpretation to this post! That’d be super fun!
i will also be doing a full color version for sale in my etsy shop.
