bitch basic composition stuff

These are very rough and imperfect, so far as compositions go, but there are some compositional ideas here that work even if the particular image isn't the most best.

I'm starting at the beginning simply because I need to start somewhere. Generally I know not to put the object of interest smack in the center of the pa...

Study and one commission

Two arts today. The first is some paw/hand drawing for my future book (and also just for studying) and the second is a sketch page for Ketrava on twitter.

Also just an update: Kittycat doing MUCH better. She got over her gut crisis and we are on our way to finding out why she's been having so much digestive trouble.&nb...

sort-of gesture sketches

Maybe a little too long to be gestures, but in that vein.

I'm still stressin over my poor cat (who seems to be recovering, but slowly) however, I got a little bit done. 

Art Study Postponed

I had plans to begin today but one of my cats is quite sick and I spent 8 hr in emergency care instead.

Still sick, trying not to worry too much. 

Study Time--Day 0

So I've done some preliminary stuff already, like getting materials together and deciding on my focus. There are just so many aspects to even one kind of art 'larnin' it's easy to get lost or overwhelmed.

Which brings me to one of my first points: It's hard for an anxious HSP (highly sensitive person) in a learning en...

Anthrocon is done!

I did far more prep for this one than I normally do. I'd like to say it paid off but I won't get the numbers back from the art show until mid august.  

It mostly went well, although I did come down with some illness Sat night and when it wasn't cleared up by sun morning got a covid test and a veeeery faint line ap...

Anthrocon arts

An acrylic painting for the show and a mixed media painting for Nekot as an example image. 

Finished images for Anthrocon

You guys have seen most of these before but I'm gonna show the final tinkering. I got some good feedback from other artists and fixed some goofy aspects. 

Anthrocon, ho!

I'll be leaving in about two weeks for Anthrocon. I've been working on getting my show and prints printed early. Since I hate matting so much, I've been spreading it out. Seems to be working alright. 

I'll see any of you there who are going! Wish me luck. Flights/the room were insano expensive :C 

Nanaki

Only you guys and the commissioner get the GIANT files. You can print em; do what you like.

Fuel to the Fire

Bigger file of this.  I was trying not to get bogged down in detail and letting things be more textured. 

Encounter

I could keep working on this forever but I don't wanna. 

Another round of sketches

Still working for Anthrocon. It's coming up fast!

scribble scribble

I REALLY wasn't feeling it yesterday but I resolved to finish out a page of doodlin and here it is. 

You've been pounced!

I decided to put a few more hours into this to make it a little more crisp and detailed in some places. 

cat head and a pencil horse

Today's offerings. Someone on Twitter asked about how to draw cats like I do so I made them that. 

today's sketches

Two more nudies for the binders

Sketch day

I'm just gonna do pencil until I'm stuck at my desk for a discord thing later today :O 

Yet more stuff

Another sketch plus a tattoo 

Three sketches

The biggest sizes. You may color them if you want to!

Really tired sketches

They're not great... But it's what I got so I'll share 'em.

Otters

A pair of otters painted in acrylic

Wee paint of a tiger

Only you dudes get to see the very large file. This is 6 by 9 inches. 

Working on a number of things right now

So I've got nothing FINISHED to show, but I have about six commissions I've got going, plus some digital paints, plus some real media paints. I've just gotten back to the acrylic and boy, is it nice!!!  It's relaxing compared to being in front of the computer all the time, though I miss how much a painting can be altered...

A Blast of color

I wanted to take a break from the usual for something more colorful. 

Canvas brush pack

Usually I reserve these for $10 and up but I'm gonna share with everyone cuz  I feel like they might be really handy and/or fun to play with. 

The ABR is in the attachments

His Prey

Kind of at a loss with this one.  Gonna put it in my adult anthrocon panels. I MAAAYYY work on it more? But I'm not completely sure. Depends on how much of other things I get finished. 

A rough greyscale

Just an idea I need to work out still.  I like it but I'll have to work out kinks and I just wasn't in the right mindset. 

Couple a sketches

Doing some pencil stuff.

WIP werewolf

This one's giving me some mischief.  I'll keep working on it off and on tho.
