Kitty in a forest of poinsettia #art

I’ve started working on xmas pics for sale and xmas cards. I’m super happy with this one so far. It’s gonna take forever to color but every moment I’ve been coloring has been happy and not the least bit frustrated. 

I’m working with prismacolor pencils. So far 925, 195, 924, 1067, 1063, 1065, 1059. @buried_in_books bought me a new pencil sharpener and I love it. It’s an Utrecht automatic precision sharpener. Don’t let that automatic word fool you, you still have to do the pencil turning yourself. 
   
   

Sketchorific 

Days been a bit scattered (dr’s and pharmacy mix ups sigh 😉 ) and the piece to post today is behind so here is some sketches. 

I like to use a soft lead in a mechanical pencil cause no sharpening is great and soft lead erases easier. These are not finished to be inked pieces and still need work. 

   
     

Custom hung over saber #art

So many copic colors go into a single 2″ animal. 14 markers before I’ve even added in shadows. The liner is copic too. It only took me about 20 min to get the basic sketch onto paper but then I transferred it, colored it, and now I’m blogging it. 

When doing a commission you need to make sure you add in little personal touches. The right shades of color helps a lot. If you can add in a way they hold themselves or tilt their heads it really makes it read x person or furson. 

  

Working hard for #anthrocon #artshow

I’m churning out pic after pic for the upcoming anthrocon. I’ve got a few lines of cute animals you’ll start seeing posted in a few weeks. Here’s a sneak peek. They’re line Art here but eventually they’ll be all copic markers and smiles. 

  

Btw still have open commission spots. Quick turn around and free shipping for any commission. 

Dieting tips #art

I have found myself drawing the things I can no longer eat on my low carb diet. Not sure it’s uber helpful but it’s been oddly helpful for me. 

  

I used to think drawing a pic of food would just make me want that food but not so much now. You?
