Hi! I’m Dianna. This is a doodle of me and [a small piece of] my family. Brand new to the forum and SVS, I’m so excited to be focusing on illustrating for the first time in my life.

Illustration for a prompt from a 10 day course from @NessIllustration. Really fun course and a really awesome value.

HELLOOOO!

Hello everyone! I'ts been a while since I posted anything here but I just wanted to share what I was currently working on.. pretty much for myself.

[Melissa_Bailey]

@Asyas_illos congratulations, Asya!!! It turned out so great!

Working on some portfolio pieces and for some reason I'm really loving star-nosed moles at the moment. And I'm really loving Strathmore mixed media toned paper.

Here's a sketch of Star-nosed Storytime:

And some progress on Star-nosed Jamboree:

This is the gouache/watercolor layer, getting down local colors. Colored pencil is the next step of the process.

Hi all! This August I am trying to get into a more relaxed way of working, and just did some work trying to follow some project ideas I had and trying not to have many expectations (although that is a really dificult thing to do!). I also bought a new box of colored pencils and you can see I have some sea side inspiration.

Currently I am drawing something that could be the cover for a story I have been brewing for some time. I am all traditional media right now... just feels better for me....

[Oana]

@Melissa_Bailey How cute! Thanks for sharing the work process, you are great with traditional media.! I also looked up the star nosed moles, first time I hear about them
