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.

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

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.

@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!

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." -
Bugs make the greatest music!

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!

Hey all - I haven't gotten very far in SVSLearn yet, but I did work on this portrait the other day. It was a sketch in one of my sketchbooks and I decided to digitize it. Her neck is def too long but I like how she turned out otherwise. I haven't taken time to figure out how to draw hair yet hence this isnt entirely finished but I decided to be done with it and move on.Still working on setting up a schedule for learning in SVSLearn and in another course where I make patterns and working a full time design job lol But illustration is where I would LOVE to land someday!
-
@Jamie-Seroogy, great work! Good luck getting your schedule planned out. It can be hard making time to work on your art, but it is worth it (even if it is just a little at a time).

@MerryMary hey thank you!
