Together

This weeks word for Illustration Friday is together. It's such a perfect word
because I'm participating in a Blog Parade together with a bunch of my new
friends from Lilla Rogers class, Make Art That Sells. The class itself was fantastic,
I can't say enough how much I learned and grew from those 5 weeks. And Part B
is coming up in 2 weeks!!
The other wonderful thing that came from the class is the group of amazing artists
I've been able to connect with through the private facebook group. We share advice
and information, work in progress and thoughts. It's been such a treat to meet kindred spirits
from around the world.
I can vouch that they don't look like the above menagerie (we've all shared short videos)
but I'm so glad we've come together.
Next in line on the parade is Sherry London who works absolute magic with
photoshop, she's an expert, she teaches and is so generous with her help. She
also beads and spins yarn. Please go check out her blog and then go on the
parade if you like.

Here are a few sketches of the wild animals I drew earlier today.

 

IF-Totem

A few woodland creatures for today. I've been painting all
those loose intuitive canvas's that I just felt like putting out a few
characters today..

IF-Puzzle

Ok, This is a stretch...for the word puzzle, but here it is. I am doing
the Sketchbook Project Limited Edition which is due April 30th.
I kept putting it off and now it's due in 15 days..... I randomly picked
the theme Why did the owl make everyone laugh? I figured I would
have a good time painting lots of people in all types of poses and states
of hysteria. I plan to tackle different angles, who knows what I'll come
up with. But I plan to get it in.. So hence the puzzle.
Anyway this was total enjoyment to paint!
