Some front orthographic character designs of young wizards, one of which will feature in my next portfolio piece, just not sure which one yet

There’s no such thing as too many pets!

Hey everybody, first time posting here.

I did a self portrait to complete my profile on this forum. Looking forward to participating in this helpful community and get some critique and feedback to improve my drawing/illustration skills.

Hello!
Feels like I haven't been here for ages. (It's ok, I won't be offended if you haven't missed me.)
I've been having a lot more fun with my drawing this month: taking part in artists' play dates, warming up with scribbles, blobbing ink around, and throwing perspective and proportion out the window as much as I can.

Here's a close-up of the most disturbing cats I've ever drawn:

I've also challenged myself to draw a pageful of animals every weekday for a year. Here's most of day 3:

Happy October everyone. I hope you get to do loads of fun drawing this month.

Hi guys. My agent has suggested that I broaden my portfolio offering. So it appears I'm drawing a virus character! This is currently a work in progress. I start with a traditional pencil drawing that I slowly render in Photoshop. Do any of you guys work that way?

[Larue]

Love this virus dude…very fun, and scary. In answer to your question I always start with pencil and scan in and then paint over it in PS.

[MarcRobinson]

@Larue thank you. Good to hear someone else uses the same methods.

[Jeremy Ross]

Bathroom humor…

I managed to get my virus character finished yesterday. It's been slow-going recently, with the new baby, emotional toddler, and the usual colds and illness, but we got it done! ha.

[Heather Boyd]

@cory-jensen Hey, glad you're interested in receiving feedback, that's great! Make a New Topic and ask for help there.

With Poem:

Amy found a friendly cat.
She picked it up without a spat.
“A Skunk, you see”, her friends could tell.
It reeked, it reeked an awful smell!

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Been a busy month, Inktober came and went. I wanted to pick a prompt I could use for a portfolio piece. Ended up posting this one for today's prompt: "Dangerous."

[Jeremy Ross]

Bugs make the greatest music!

[MarcRobinson]

I was advised by my agent that it would be a good idea to add some dinosaurs to my portfolio, so I've been working on this T-rex illustration. I'm planning to add some text at the top and maybe at the bottom too. You can still see the traditional pencil drawing on the background, and I cant wait to paint over it. Still lots to do, especially with the colour/lighting, but it's been really fun trying my hand at a dinosaur for a change.

@MarcRobinson he is so cute, I love him!
