  Feeling kind of ehhhhh about my illustrations lately. Pencil sketches are fun for me and relaxing most of the time. Illustration is hard. Trying to keep my chin up but getting really discouraged. I know it’s that artist brain. We probably all feel it. Anyway, here’s a recent sketch.

  It's December, time to unleash winter/holiday themed pieces! Had this fun little idea when I was finishing up my Slowvember artwork. I can't wait to devour some yummy Holiday treats! Holiday Chocolate Mousse.

  @withlinesofink Thanks. I haven't painted in a long time and I actually feel like this piece isn't as good as ones I did a couple years ago. I couldn't get past the "dodge and burn" look. I don't actually use those tools, but what I did try had the same effect. yuck My shadows are far too dark, huh? I will try again for the 'Independent' theme.

  @Javier-Algarra Excellent! Just what I was thinking, this will look really nice once it is fleshed out.

  I made another video the other day showing some basic colouring techniques- I hope it is useful to someone: https://youtu.be/ajjt_HOqQWg. More sketches I've done are also on my Tumblr blog: https://thimblefolio.tumblr.com/ I want to get doing mini daily goal assignments toward little story based projects next. I was watching a video I bought on Gumroad from Titus Lunter on getting into the flow yesterday and I realize I need to just focus on one project for a bit but break it up into manageable chunks so I don't get overwhelmed by the scope in my head.

  @Lee-White Lol I thought of you the second it loaded. I know you are itching to fix that first post!! My tablet Clip Studio Paint program background is charcoal gray so everything looks "framed" when I paint it and then I post it to a white background and the whole design gets lost. Grr, sorry

  @audrey-dowling It's beautiful! It looks to me that the front fairy is glancing at the hunter. It's just beautiful.
