Morning!

Today I wanted to share some pictures...

First up is a before and after of my most recent digital painting 'Stay'. You can see how I sketch out a piece and then follow it (as much as I can) to the end. I took my stock image of a Dik Dik fawn and first manipulated the proportions so it's head and eyes were larger, then sketched over the top of it, I did the same with my pose reference. (credits BTW can be found here )

Then I start painting over the top of it. I import stock images and photo bits into the work as I move along and paint over and around them and blend everything together. I'm looking into how to film myself working on a piece much like I see other DA artists do. I just have to figure it out because it would be more than on session. I would say this took a total of about 6-10hours (I wasn't keeping track and it was over the course of a few days).

This next photo is a new sketch I am starting. A commission mother daughter portrait. I think its going to be super cute!
