I have a whole list of ideas for illustrations that I haven’t started yet. Usually I pick one and go from start to finish. However, I’m trying something different where I do sketches of all of them first, then decide which ones I want to finish.

I really tried to do an actual inked drawing for May the 4th, but I’m still not happy with the underlying drawing/anatomy/proportions. Oh well—It was a good effort for today.

@Richy-s-ayala Welcome! So fresh and full of life filled colours! The lighting and mark making shapes and movement and energy you've created, very nice.

Nice to meet you, I am Heather.

Hi Heather! Very nice to meet you too, I am Richy. Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to look at my work! Excited to share more and see your art.

I am pleased to report that with this spread of our fearful hero puking his guts out while his dad looks on I am officially DONE final art for my book!

Now it goes to the designer and art director for revisions/typesetting and other stuff and it is on schedule to be released Spring 2024!

And now I get to do it all again with the second book

@Richy-s-ayala oh my goodness I just love this so much! I want to jump into that picture and visit this world. So much color and life to this. great job!

@lpetiti YES!! It's hard to remember sometimes that art is built on play. It is supposed to be fun and enjoyable. It is letting our curiosity lead us down a path to see what we find and what we can do. As adults I think we get caught up in being productive and forget to just play. Children are always making art and not concerned about the outcome. I have challenged myself to play with my art more and stop focusing on my "should dos" and focus on just enjoying it. not as easy as it sounds sometimes though.

@Robyn-Hepburn Thank you so much!! This made my day. I am actually considering setting up a little online shop for prints and this feedback definitely inspires me to do it!

Ok I know he doesn’t have any arms yet, lol, and I need another character or two what do you think?

so after hearing one of the live Q&A episodes again, where i asked a question and @Will-Terry remindet me of, that i have a mindset problem, i decided after crying just a bit after i failed my driving test today, that i just draw and get it out of my system.
I also made a secon version with happy faces, that i can gift my driving teacher when i will pass the test next time

Maybe some of you remember my small project about myself. to get comfortable with drawing and don't have to much presure.

Nothing too special, but i hope it will help me in the future to be mor creative with composition and stuff.
