    @lefrog

    I am a teacher/artist who is passionate about both traditional and digital art forms and I'm really keen to learn how to illustrate Children's Books.

    I was tending towards returning to my traditional roots after some years of really enjoyable pixel pushing, then along came the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil. Wo! What a great time to be an artist.

      Baby Bot was hidden until his clever mum and her drone found him.

      β€œMusic hath charms to soothe the savage beast.” Apparently it's supposed to be breast, but that doesn't suit my image as well as the incorrect version πŸ™‚

      Well I've tried a more lose, colourful, painterly style - not quite as finished as I would like, but time 'n all πŸ™‚

    • RE: MAY CONTEST: MERMAY!

      Mermay small.jpg

      With a skid and a broadside -just in the nick of time, I made it. My first attempt at drawing a mermaid - I'm usually a guy and monsters kinda artist, but I'm hoping any inaccuracies re the female form will be put down to parallax errors caused by light in water, and not my bad drawing πŸ˜‰

      The theme is rescue -King shrimp saved by Mermay and her crabby team πŸ™‚

      Re: SVS JUNE CONTEST: MUSHROOM VILLAGE

      Hi guys

      My first post. I saw the email reminder a little late, so I will submit my effort as a finished b/w piece. I did want to colour it, but time will not permit. Please forgive. I would just like to post something πŸ™‚

    • The moment before - Eggbert is distracted by a leaf. WIP

      The_Moment_Before.jpg

      I actually started this sketch for the "Fall" comp, but time defeated me and I was unable to complete it. The "Moment Before" challenge seems ideal for this poor lil dude, so hopefully, I'll try to complete it in colour before the deadline. I want to try a looser, more painterly style this time.

      Comments welcomed -thanks you amazing artists and teachers.

      Hi guys, I posted this in the wrong place, before the deadline. I'm still not too sure if this is the correct spot πŸ™‚ Newbies !! πŸ™‚ Thanks Tessa, for trying to steer me in the right direction. Well done all. Cheers.

    • "Yeti cooked with flare and secret spices as the aroma wafted through the air!"

      WIP for the Yeti Barbie.
      I'm taking the title maybe more literally than intended πŸ™‚ I thought that an intrepid, but unlucky explorer might have succumbed to the elements and our clever Yeti managed to work out how to use the flare gun to heat the back of a stop sign to provide instant reflected heat for his meaty snack.! I'll hopefully find time to complete the colouring over the next few days.
      Good luck all.

      @Chip-Valecek Thanks Chip. I agree it's a good idea to make it less ambiguous - currently, he might just wobble past it πŸ™‚ Cheers
