Hi I just wanted to introduce myself. I’ve been a member for a bit and have not had a chance.

I’m a stay at home mom working on getting back into the Industry. I went to school in my early 20s for animation illustration and took a step back to raise my two girls. Now that they are both in school all day I decided to go back for a degree in illustration. I’ll be graduating in the spring with my 2 AS in illustration and will be transferring to a 4 year college.

I’m a traditional artist I like to work in pastels, oils, and I’m learning Digital. I also do face and body painting for different event to pay for my schooling.

I’ll attach a few of my works so you can get an idea of how I work and what I do.

This was my final for my illustration class last week with Don Segmiller

This is a airbrush painting with acrylics.

This is a pastel landscape color study.

Thanks everyone for your help this is due at midnight tonight for class. I’m still learning digital painting but it’s better that what I was doing a year ago.

This is one assignment I think I’m going to keep coming back too. I’m open to any constructive critiquing.

Hey this is a composite and value study sketch for a illustration class I would love some feed back on it. I cant decided how I want red standing so she doesn’t look stiff a mid walk type of standing. Thank you.


I can completely relate to this. I have two preteens that are starting to drive each other and me up the wall.

So many things I want to accomplish.

1. Graduate with AAS in illustration in May with a worthy portfolio to start working
2. Get my website up and running with more than bare bones
3. Get out and do more fine art shows and competitions
4. Not over plan my days and get overwhelmed

@Braxton Thank you for your feed back

@jbleau Thank you, those drawings help a lot.

Hey, this is my next assignment for my illustration class. It’s goldilocks and the three aliens, it’s due on Sunday night. I feel I’m been staring at it and fiddling. I would love any constructive criticism critique. Thanks.

Thank you for the feed back on the values. I’ll look back at them I’m thinking during the screen shot, saving and posting my values seem to darken than what I’m working on, it happened when I posted on my social media as well.

I do the arrow on every thing even when I working traditional, when working digitally I’ll place the arrow on a separate layer. It always seems to help keep me in line.

When I took the screen shot of the arrow one I think I forgot to turn off the layer.
