My new favorite tools -
1. Undo
2. Rotate

4. Layers
5. Layer Adjustor
Never thought I'd say this, but there are a lot of things I love about digital art! Above are the top 5 reasons why, right now.
Oh yeah, and the fact that I don't have to change my clothes to "paint".....I'm a messy painter!

Say "Hello" to My Leetle Friend
Meet Carlos, the penguin....
I just developed this guy today. He's a character I came up with years ago; and today, have brought to life, I hope, with a new look.
I decided to name him, Carlos. I don't know why. I just looked at him and decided he looks like a Carlos.

Artist Panic!
While I've been doing traditional art for a while, I'm new to the world of digital illustration, so....
Had a moment...okay, more than a moment, of panic last night....thinking, what in the world am I doing, trying to illustrate a children's book, as a newbie????? Am I insane??? There are so many talented illustrators out there, already....how can I hope to compete?
My wonderful husband reassured me...truthfully, which he's great about...he said that, yes, maybe people wouldn't like it....but maybe some, or many, will....just keep plugging...then, try another one....
In any industry, we just have to keep trying, and work hard. We'll be challenged, make mistakes, and grow.
As the guy in "The Water Boy" kept saying, in his great cajun accent...."You can do it!"
So, today, I'm back at it! Breathe...breathe....breathe...

Illustration Project
While still offering my paintings, (I recently completed/sold a gallery wrap of my "Grace" painting, seen below) I'm currently working on illustrations for a children's book. I cannot post any of my images or other information from this, yet, but as soon as it's published, I will! Soon, I'll post some more of my animal characters, which I actually developed years ago, and used to create greeting cards for friends and family. I'm hoping to develop them further into more illustrations, greeting cards, and comics.
This has been consuming all of my work time (which would have normally been my free time -haha) so that's why I haven't posted any new work lately.
