The Girl with Ruby Pink Walls

Character Art from Inktober Sketches

This girl spoke to me from my Inktober sketches and begged me to paint her. I combined the two sketches you see on the left to create the final character I painted. She wants to go on an adventure like the girl and dog in my Balloon Lift Off series, which you see posters of on her wall. Her ruby pink walls were inspired by last week's colour_collective prompt. I painted most of this on my iPad Pro with Procreate, and finished it in Photoshop since the iPad was required elsewhere.

I had originally titled this, Running Away, but I'm not so sure she's running away versus running TO an adventure.

What do you think?

Her pen and ink counterpart in my Inktober series is on an adventure now. I'll be sharing my first week's drawings soon of Around the World in 31 days with Georgia and her Dragon, Swift, so be sure to check back.

Thanks ever so much for stopping by!

Hump Day!

My Animal Parade Camel has been working overtime to bring smiles and push away the mid week blues. This week he's strapped on some skis to celebrate the Winter Olympics.

HAPPY OLYMPIC HUMP DAY!

Illustration Friday: Patterns

I have been neglectful and not posted for a while. Life and the challenge to get new illustration and design work got in the way. However, I could not pass up on this week's Illustration Friday topic, Patterns. I have created many fun patterns with my humorous heads and tails Animal Parade animals and this is one of my favorites. My cute Husky is all decked out for the holidays in a fun Santa hat and a holly wreath. Woof! Happy holidays!
