Illustration Friday and Practicing


I've been inspired by my dear one to return to Illustration Friday and other such practice work, and it has been very rewarding. Not only have I enjoyed the brain exercise it can be, but I am receiving some invaluable feedback from other artists that I am so grateful for. I've also gained some confidence, sadly lacking in recent months and am hopeful that I can keep up this momentum.
A sweet friend from school has been facing some very difficult trials of late, and has been pushing herself to get her work OUT there. She's inspired me to do the same, to not be afraid, but just take it one day at a time, working diligently and having faith in myself and my abilities to create! I've set some new goals, and we'll see what the future holds!

After coloring it, I've been trying several texture methods.


Finally choosing this one for submission.
Having loads of fun and learning so much!

  1. Just darling, my dear. I love your style. I love your subtle colors and everything about it. I don't even know what the new theme is for this week. I will look right now. xo
