Got a rare opportunity to draw at work...creating a series of women in Arizona history for some note cards. Trying my hand at doing it in a Wall Street Journal-esque hedcut style:
Messed up a lot on this first one, but feel like now I know what I need to do to fix the patterns going forward. Helps that these illustrations will only be about 3" square when printed!
WIP rework, I like the colours, space, and the atmosphere 
those edges lols. Before and after (wip). I just noticed a mistake haha.
@burvantill Thank you! 
I think what I would like to do differently next time is to don't be afraid and ask for bigger timeframe. Im on a tight deadline with the fairy book and also on a tight deadline with my own project (another book, also will be published by a publisher, so I'm under contract there too). I'm now in a situation where there's a possibility I will not be able to deliver on time one of those two projects. And I have few other things I would love to get done. And I won't. Because there's no time. I have my nose buried deep in paper drawing fairies, trying to also squeeze in some monkeys (for the other book), and regretting I was to shy to ask for more time in a first place... Well, that's how I learn, I guess.
BUT - I'm still happy and grateful I have work. 
Of course.
I finished the sticker for my stepdaughter. I had to fix Puppy's ears because I thought they flipped over a little. That's what I get for going from memory.
Don't know that I've posted in the virtual studio thread before, tho I have commented. Working on daily sketching habit so will try posting here 
!
Some sketches from waiting at the doctor's office with a ballpoint pen. Was practicing some of the bean shapes from the posing characters course
And last night watching a movie with my kids I developed some of them more and this one I liked and might finish up at some point
@Coley Your gestures are coming along nicely! You've really stuck to the practice from that course we all did together. Keep up the good work.
Hootles rarely tolerated hugs. Nyxy, TODAY AND AT THIS MOMENT was one of those few.
Owls are so much fun to draw.
@Braden-Hallett Something wrong with the picture
@MichaelaH how so?
@Braden-Hallett It is not there anymore in your last post, there was some link to discord.
@MichaelaH Weird! i can still see it!
@Braden-Hallett hmm no owl there for me only text
@Braden-Hallett I can see it too. It’s hilarious. 
@Braden-Hallett I can see it now, everything ok
happy ending after all 
@JerrySketchyArt thanks! The gesture course plus the posing plus the perspective courses etc and all the practice all starting to come together for me and make a difference. Just gotta keep going. Thanks for the comment

Messing around this past weekend. Getting away for the ink and splatter style.
Was away on vacation, but here two of the shapes this week finished. Mounts(animal friends) for last week's DND characters
