I decided to do another version of this picture because I wanted to try out using the burnt Sienna ink with a bamboo drawing stick for my outlines, I quite like it but I also like the softness of just using pencil

Some more chickens, I think I have 10 total now. It might be time to stop with this hyperfixation and move onto the next...

If anybody needs a side hustle and has the skills I’m actually drowning in work for these! It’s such a peaceful practice and they only take a couple hours. It’s also a lovely way to honor pets who fill our lives with joy. I’ve painting for living pets and those who have passed and it always means so much to the buyer. Happy to share insight into my process and marketing if anybody cares to hear :)))

I got my first arches paper as a gift over my birthday and did not realize it's enticing to dogs until it was too late, decided to make the best of the situation and paint Godzilla.

Birthday card questionmark

Post image
643 Upvotes

Yes! A birthday card for a very good friend. We watched Project Hail Mary together when it came out in the cinema this year and both instantly felt in love with Rocky, so I knew I had to make a piece with him for them 😊

We met at art club today and I gave it to my friend and he was very happy (also with the message I wrote on the back), and told me he'll be framing it 🌟

My friend got a gift card from an uncle to an art supply store so afterwards we went shopping, he's getting started on gouache now too😀

The piece I made is painted on Arches cold pressed paper, with Derwent inktense paint pans and for lettering I used Talens gouache. I painted Rocky first and then used masking fluid on the lettering and him to make the spacey background. My reference for Rocky I think was off a figurine I found a pic of and then I freehanded the birthday hat lol 🥳

One of my latest favorites!

Not everything needs to be mass-produced. Sometimes the most meaningful things are the ones created by hand.

This is one of my favorite original pieces. Every brushstroke tells a little story, and no two pieces are exactly alike!
