DeviantArt Holiday Card Project 2019

Front of the card
Inside the card

DeviantArt is encouraging artists to design holiday cards, which they will distribute to people in hospitals during the holiday season. I thought it sounded like a nice thing to do and thought I’d participate. I’ve been wanting to do calligraphy for a while, but this is one of the first times I’ve actually tried it.

The front of the card was done with a micron pen, which was a little hard to work with (for this purpose). Inside, I switched to a brush pen, which made the writing a lot easier. The lettering inside is a little bit crooked, but I don’t think it’s too distracting. Overall, I think it looks pretty good.

If you want to check out the program, here’s a link to the informational page: https://www.deviantart.com/team/journal/Holiday-Card-Project-2019-817011696

I think it’s a great program, and it’s definitely worth doing!

Bear and Leia [Commissions]

Here are two more commissions I made. The cat’s name is Bear, and the guinea pig is Leia. It was fun to draw all of Bear’s fluff, and Leia was interesting because I don’t usually draw guinea pigs, and her fur was very spiky. It sort of stuck out at different angles in tufts. Anyway, enjoy!

Nomi and Jazz [Commissions]

I was recently asked to draw two beautiful cats, Nomi (white and ginger) and Jazz (brown tabby). I really enjoyed making their portraits. It was a bit of a challenge, most of my cat drawings being American Shorthairs or similar, but nonetheless fun. On Nomi’s portrait, I used some purple for shading, which was something I don’t think I’ve done before. At one point it was too purple, so I balanced it out with gray. I think that the purple makes it seem a little bit more interesting, since there’s so much white on the canvas. Jazz was darker, so I just shaded with brown.

Art In The Park 2016

I made it into the Art In The Park event! They are giving me a 7 x 7 space to sell art! I am really excited! Art In The Park takes place on three different days, July 8th, July 9th, and July 10th. I am going to be selling the clay animals (which are shown in a previous post, Clay Art), plus a lot more! The event is coming soon, so I have started to  get to work. Two of my creations are shown here.
