New Illustration: Stargazer Lily (Daily Illustration Challenge Day Six)

Day Six sees me attempting to blend the flowers I used to do with the new style of illustration. An ongoing aspiration, rather than a "done deal," I think...

New Illustration: Earrings (Daily Illustration Challenge Day Five)

The creative every day challenge *doesn't* state that you have to stick to one medium So I met the challenge on Facebook with the actual earrings made for my mother-in-law. (A re-make, actually, but that's another story).

But over here, that feels like cheating. (Bizarre, isn't it, that a voluntary project is already causing me to ponder ethics. This is supposed to be fun!:-).


Anyway, I sketched a simplified version of the earrings in ArtRage 4 to fit my own illustration challenge.

Enjoy!

PS. The actual earrings look like this picture below-so just as wonky as in the sketch...

Day Four: Flower Painting Hydrangea Pattern (Work in Progress?)

For Day Four of this still-ridiculous daily challenge, decided to attempt a repeating pattern.

I took a photo of  a hydrangea about 18 months ago, always meaning to do something with it, but never quite getting round to it.

Today was the day, and it was the reference for a digital watercolour in ArtRage4. Which in turn, is the main motif in the pattern on the left.

Am not yet even sure if this is "finished", but need to leave it and look again in the morning!
