Handsom pup: Sketch 1

I love taking my sketchbook with me while I'm on the road. While traveling last year, I sketched my handsome little 'muse' with graphite in my sketch book. The second image is a close up. (My scanner is having issues, so forgive the fuzzy and blurred quality of the on screen images.)

Dog Portrait 2

This is the second dog portrait that I mentioned in an earlier post. It was also done in Adobe Illustrator. I kept it as close in design to the other portrait as I could since they were meant to go together. I wanted some of the dogs personality to show through, and I think that it was achieved. I was very happy with this one.

I will be posting some of my graphite sketches in the next post, so keep checking back! :)

Falling frog

I illustrated this a while back in chalk pastels on a dark textured paper. I did multiple illustrations of the same frog in different situations and scenes. This particular illustration is my favorite of the series because the colors came out so saturated. (The colors are much smoother and brighter on the original.)
