Pet Sketches...still in progress!
Sep. 24th, 2023 07:39 amI realized I haven't udpated here forever. I'm still working on pet portraits from the comic expo :-D
Frank the Cat
Sep. 30th, 2019 07:08 pmI finished up Frank's portrait recently. He was the last commission from the comic show and I'm quite happy with how he turned out. Frank has a lion cut, so it made it difficult to feel comfortable with the body proportions. A little bit of white paint for eyes and whiskers and it felt good to be done :-)

Smalls and Wilson - Pretty Kitties
Sep. 14th, 2019 06:31 amI had a fun time at the Red & White Comic Card and Toy Show, but the lighting was quite dreadful. It was a pleasure to finish these pictures of Smalls and Wilson in the days following. Most people want to get their picture right away - but a little patience means a high quality scan and a coat of fixative spray.
The picture was challenging because I had them together at first, but the picture did not want to be made. After the second try, where I wasn't happy with the faces, I drew them separately and then made another sketch of them together. Funny how art is like that! It's always a conversation between the artist and the canvas.
