Quick check-in!

Long time no blog!  How is everyone?

Unfortunately, I have been sidelined with a back injury that worsens when I sit for long periods of time.  It has been quite painful and so I have been resting as much as possible when I don't have to work or chase after my kids.

I've set up a standing desk and have been able to sketch more in the past week.  The above is a sketch for this week's Illustration Friday topic, "Jump".  Please bear with me and I will post more content soon!  Wishing you well!  :)

Ink for IF: Popularity

Hi folks! My schedule is crazy these days - juggling work projects, packing lunches for preschool, trying to fit a run in somewhere, and my baby still won't sleep through the night! So, I got to the inking phase for this week's Illustration Friday theme, but am very sure it won't be painted in time. I want to do this one in acrylic when I have a spare minute!

Hope all is well in happy drawing land! Until next time!

Sketch for IF: Suspense

I probably won't finish this by next Friday, but here is my sketch for this week's Illustration Friday, "Suspense".

IF: Forward

I'm still playing around with ink & acrylics. This technique keeps me loose, which I love. Here's my painting for this week's Illustration Friday:

Until next time!

IF: Prepare

I finished painting this one.  In case you missed it, the sketch is here.  Enjoy!

IF: Twirl

So, I was not able to finish digitally painting last week's "Prepare", but it is coming along alright and I hope to finish it sometime soon.

I've been playing around with brush inking & acrylics lately, so I tried out this week's Illustration Friday, "Twirl", in that style.  It was a quick exercise for a Sunday afternoon, and I had fun painting it. 

Here's the sketch:

Incidentally, the red panda is my favourite animal.  :)

Sketch for IF: Prepare

I hope I can paint this one this week!
