So, I got contacted by some suppossedly American guy for a commision on his son's dog. He sent a couple of pretty nice pics of it and I did this sketch. In the end it all turned out to be a very ellaborate scam, which I luckily realized before any harm was done. At any rate, I loved drawing this dog and I didn't even know I could create this because it's totally different from what I usually do. I value the experience I got out of this, overall, but be cautious out there. I've been victim to scam attempts four times in a month lately. Instagram is a wild place right now.
I'm starting a new art challenge #whimsicalByMamaminia
Art challenges are an excellent way to stay motivated. They are great for creating consistently in one style.
I fell in love with gouache paintings with a whimsy touch when I discovered Ruth Wilshaw.
It's my first attempt at creating an illustration with a whimsical accent
Do you ever start doodling an idea out and then get stuck in it for days, then weeks... The older I get the more obsessional I seem to get about following an idea. This week it has been nothing but eyeballs... I think I'm on number 11 now, and to be honest I think it's finally running out of steam, or I'm just running out of ideas on what I can do with an eyeball! So here is part one. Meet Columbo. After this they become a lot weirder...
I have the designs up on TeePublic as stickers, t-shirts and other yums. https://www.teepublic.com/user/squeebcreative
