TWIRLING Mixing the colors of the ocean ... ... Hi, When you think of mermaids, your first thought is of Ariel from Disney's The Little Mermaid. I thought it would be fun to draw a mermaid for an aerial view (aerial...you know, like, Ariel but like...get it? Huh huh? *nudge nudge*) It is the month of May and as with all kinds of seasonal trends, the MerMay challenge is upon us. What is the MerMay Challenge? Well, it's a month-long daily challenge where you draw a mermaid or a merman, a mer-person every day for 31 days. This watercolor illustration is my one and only entry to the MerMay challenge. ... ... Materials I used the Spring set of five colors from Akashiya Sai Watercolor Brush Pens And, I also used the Marvy Uchida Black Brush Pen no. 4600. Does that mean they have 4599 other shades of black before it? *giggle* I used only six colors to make this. The colors I used are: Pink, Madder, Yellow Ochre, Pale Orange, Green Blue, and Black.

Take a hike! ... ... Salut, mes amis! This is a quick cute illustration that started while I was doing an object study session and drew a hiking boot, which led to me draw a kitten too (because, why not). Drawing the boot at the back took longer than I thought but I'm quite happy with my color selection as well the shadows and lights I got to choose. My only critique would be that I need to get better at drawing animals and practice drawing quicker digitally. Oh, and I used the program 'Krita' to draw this. Though there are some minor issues with this free painting program but I've found that it's far ahead of Photoshop as a paint program (yeah, I know). Maybe I'll tell you why some other time. Let me know what you thought of this in the comments below. :) I hope you like it. Thanks again for watching! :) xoxo P.S. It went from this: To this, so...high five!

The bird calls of love have its moments ... ... Hi, This is an animatic from an animation short I have been storyboarding at the moment. The birds that you see here are zebra finches and this portion of their interaction in the short was inspired from a YouTube video, that I can't find at the moment, where somebody recorded their birds having a moment just like this. I have a long way to go in studying how to inbetween, choosing colors, understanding backgrounds, and most importantly camera work. Though it's just in the storyboard phase yet, I enjoyed adding so many details just to get the hang of other areas that I need to work on in animation. I used OpenToonz to create this animatic. It has a fairly steep learning curve but for a free open software, it has everything an animator could ask for. I've found it to be the easiest place to do storyboarding. Let me know what you thought of this in the comments below. :) I hope you like it. Thanks again for
