An updated/revised version of this piece. Happy Monday. :)

Sketches

Just some random sketches and colorings. :) Happy Tuesday!

It's time to Hibernate!

Like I've said before, I love the facebook graffiti app, and here's a few more bears I've created. I love the autumn-like colors they have, and since it's getting cold, I figured they would make some good pictures to post, as some animals are in or will be going into Hibernation. Actually, the first one looks like he's going to hibernate. The second one is a picture of what will happen if you wake the bears up! So, shhhh! Be very, very quiet, so we don't wake them up! :)

A Quick Sketch

Here's a quick sketch I did. Hope you like it! I might do somethingmore with it later, so be sure to look for it, just in case! :)

Bear attack

I originally posted my sketch of this pic, but then I did a larger picture on paper because I thought it was so cute. I changed a few of the details, like the trees in the background, but I think that's about it. Oh, and it's only done in colored pencils, too, just like my sketch.

Red nosed...mole?

I guess this is a sketch of a mole? I don't really know what this animal is, but I think he's adorable. :) If you notice, the butterfly seems to think his nose is one of the cherries that are in the background. I'm hoping to do a bigger piece of this, like my bear picture, but I haven't done so yet. I'll try to let you know if I do and post the outcome. :)

Chicka chickas

I love this picture, even though it's not my best work. It really doesn't even make sense, but I think it's so cute. It's 3 birds, not penguins, in a tree. I applied the "scrapbooking" technique to this, since I cut out the limb, leaves, and birds and painted them before glueing them down over my painting of the tree. Right now, I have this picture framed and hanging in my room. There's just something about it that I love. :)

Silhouette

I absolutely love the look of these two. One is a silhouette of one bird on a blue background and the other is a silhouette of two birds on an orange background. I thought this style would make a good theme for someone's room.

Sunny

This is a really small piece that I did awhile ago. At the time, it seemed like a good idea, but it really didn't turn out exactly as I had planned. Then again, if you've read my earlier posts, you know that I don't exactly plan ahead all the time. :)
However, it seems like a good header, so I thought I would share it at the top this time. I hope you guys like it! :)

Over the Weekend

Well, I've been at it again. :) I always try to create a little something on the weekends, since that's when I have the most time. So now, I have a couple of new pictures to add to my growing collection. :)

I know this first one is a little early, but I just can't help but get a head start for some winter pics. :) I liked this one because it looks so...cozy.

This other one that I did is more summery. :) It's supposed to be a bird flying over a tree and house. I've had the bird for awhile, I just didn't know where to put him.

You know what's funny is that I keep having to tell myself that this is something I can do. It's not really that I don't want to do it, it's just that I keep thinking that maybe I can't. Maybe that I won't be as good as all of those other professional illustrators out there. Maybe I won't ever have any books or art published with my work in them. Maybe I'm not as good as an artist as I thought.

And perhaps I'm not. But I'll never know if I don't try. So if anyone else out there is having the same thoughts, just remember that you can do anything you put your mind to. I know there are other famous illustrators and artists out there who never had an ounce of education, so there's hope for me, too. :) Maybe one day I'll have my work published and it will be the number one best seller of all time. LOL! Here's to hoping!
