Day 1. Daily doodles finally getting colour!

After a year working on the cintiq my style is changing and is at a crossroad.

Ink fairy will practise her special drawing talent everywhere so Ellie 'fell asleep' in the fairy circle to wait for the PERFECT shot!

Hello everyone. Something different from me, a girl racing her beautiful horse.

Hello little. Wow, this is a neat magical wand!

For Will. Thanks @ShannonBiondi

193/365 Tiger and his cute friends in watercolour and ink.

Day 1/30. New challenge. 30 Days of drawing monsters and aliens. All very cute and friendly of course! A good excuse to practice getting messy with digital brushes.

Some more done on this cute snowy scene.

Thanks so much Lee. Here are my best watercolour illustrations from this year.

@NessIllustration Thanks Ness. It is for personal use and I did create a ball park quote which the client is happy with. I am doing these type of commissions less as I focus on the children's book market. Another thing is my quotes have stayed the same since I begun 10 years ago and I know I could do with an overhaul if I continue to do certain commissions.

@Melissa-Bailey-0 Thanks Melissa, I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I have not been taking on commissions for a while and I felt like I was also under charging. Now with a few years drawing experience I know I need to adjust prices so I have figured out my hourly rate and will take the work if my client agrees to the adjustments. Thanks again.

I have a commission with a client of a few years now and we have created a number of watercolour illustrations. I mainly work digitally now though for this special client I am creating an image, part watercolour, part digital which they will print. We are creating it, not rushed but certainly with a close deadline. We will iron out the details tomorrow. I was wondering how much people are charging these days for a one off piece. I believe this will be A4, or letter size, 21 x 29cm. Thanks

For the first time ever I did a redraw. I drew this last April 2020 and did the redraw February 2021. I surprised myself so I thought it would be fun to share and celebrate a mini milestone.
Before April 2020

After February 2021

I like where this is going. I love the atmosphere. I would like to see the background edges blurred a bit, to have less focus and then more focus on the edges of the characters and foreground. I feel like the left side of the piece is heavy with interest and and right not so much so, so add in a point of interest to the right side, maybe a magical animal exploring the ruins or their pet. Also check levels like the guys have said above. Really like this piece and hope this is useful!

@Jacy13 Thanks Jacy. Exactly what I was looking for.

Wow, wow, WOW! This is awsome @Neha-Rawat !!! Very well done.

I feel like this is my best new illustration in a while. Think I will do a bit more with light dappled on the grass, very happy with all the bunnies especially the artist bunnnies.

@NessIllustration Hi Ness. Congrats with your growing video how to collection! I am about to update my website and want to add a shop for prints, canvases and cups. Would creating a shop with Etsy be my best option or are there other ways? Quick edit. I found Shopify, this is new to me!

It's been a while since I could make some new digital art, back now though. Really missed it. Still managed to do some sketchbook ideas. Looking forward to get started. I had lots of Christmas and winter illustrations in my sketchbook, here is one!
