Day 31 - Be Mine!

Here's the last one!  The typical sort of Valentine I make and get commissioned for.

In conclusion: I did pretty well with this 30 day painting challenge.   The whole point was to get better at studio practice, and a lot of what I do is commission or design work that's not always public.  So I feel fairly happy with my work output... but I need to spend more time on fine art in addition to my illustration.

Day 29 - Maned Wolf

I like making these little storybook animal illustrations.  If you go back through my blog, you can see a lot of the others I do!  I sell these at art shows as tags or badges.   I have to do a snow leopard, panda, and corgi at least.  I need to add a few more dog breeds and more little kitties as well.

So for now, here's a frequently requested maned wolf!

Day 28 - Cabin

Working on my sketchbooking, which is something I should be doing more of.   The paper did NOT want to absorb!  But I got some great effects out of it.   Cabiny deliciousness.

Day 27 - Fox Face

The Lazy Artists Draws A Quick Orange Fox.

I am doing 30 paintings... they might just not be in a row.

Day 26 - Wolf portrait

Remember that time when I said I'd stop drawing animal heads for a bit?  Yeah, let's both pretend I didn't say that, because here's a watercolor wolf.

Day 22 - Elk

Little elk head in a circle.  Working on shapes and animals.

Day 21 - Framed Wolf

This may end up a small series of animals and frames, we'll see.

Very easy for me to go from acrylic to watercolor.  Watercolor is easier to transport by far!  Back on the daily art wagon.
