@carlianne lololol thanks! I did like 10 of them and then thought it was funny I took a break from drawing to draw :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

[Coley]

@burvantill nice comp! You’re going to be the master of circular comps!

[Coley]

More work on a lamp for props course. Trying to work out the structure in perspective from 3/4 and above on the one on the left. The one on the right is my earlier version.

[burvantill]

@Coley Lol. Thanx!

@demotlj I love the 2nd one better : it gives a softness that the ink work does not have. The pencil you used seems just fine! But I let the pros to assess it. Have you tried doing the lines in watercolour pencils? It could be nice as well.

[demotlj]

@Julia I went over the pencil one again using a brown color pencil instead of a 4B pencil and like it better. I think I will try the watercolor pencils too. So many choices!

I didn't post anything earlier this month (I usually try to get something up on the 2nd day) as I didn't really have anything to contribute. But tonight I just let go and blissfully doodled. I used a reference pic off Pixabay, and sorta just meandered my stylus across the surface of my iPad until I thought it was done. I probably followed the reference image too closely, as it was sorta just copying, but I think sometimes there's a value to using drawing to just let go... It was very zen, actually. No pressure, no plan, no precision, no procedures, no purpose--just playing. I love to draw while listening to some of my favorite drawing music or a movie I've seen a million times so it isn't distracting and play it in the background. I can't listen to tutorials or books or things that require too much attention. This was relaxing for me tonight. Thought I'd share.

@Coreyartus really

For the SCBWI Draw This! Challenge - prompt is “Secret Admirer”

I’m not sure about this one yet. I think I’m 90% done but I don’t quite know what that last 10% is. I’ll come back to it later coz my brain isn’t thinking clearly. I like it coz it’s pretty and flowery. But I’m pretty sure I can come up with a better concept. But the submission deadline is in 2 days so I’m not sure if I’ll have time.

I also work on commissioned wedding invitations every now and then. This one is due in a week!

[Coley]

@Neha-Rawat this is pretty 🥰 I watched one of your YouTube videos last week on your process, nice video!!

[braden H]

[Neha Rawat]

@Coley oh thank you so much! You can’t believe how happy I am to know someone is actually seeing my YouTube channel also

[Coley]

[braden H]

[braden H]

This chocolate heart smells like mouse...

[demotlj]

@Braden-Hallett I’ve always loved your work but I really like what you’ve been doing recently without line. I know a lot of it you’ve been doing just to experiment with light but I find it a very appealing style.

[carlianne]

@Neha-Rawat I love your style ️

[Coley]

@burvantill I haven't joined scbwi. Worth it? My image with the characters in the snow would fit the secret admirer prompt LoL! A little pricey to join so just seeing what peeps thinking of it's value
