I'm always grateful for the words of advice, and encouragement from you all. I'm sorry I haven't participated here so far this year.
I have been hitting the road running with this new job and working with a new team - while keeping the art alive. Bloody exhausting.
I've so far completed three of the four pieces for one commission, and I haven't heard back about two others in the works so looks like I'm not doing them :P
My hangup with the 4 pieces is I started with the idea to use vector layers, and used harsh black lines throughout. That didn't happen, and as I've travelled along, I just found it difficult to keep to the same style as the first, when my brain keeps wanting me to do it different. So I'm working on it slowly, and redoing it. And redoing it. And doing challenges in the meantime. But here's the preview of what I had done so far:
With these I was careful to think about story and composition and I think that's what I'm lacking with the 4th because I've done the sketch over and over again I've lost the feel of it. Anywho, I'll get there.
There's a lot of artwork being posted about what's currently happening in Ukraine. I don't pretend to know what people are going through even for family who are from there, but I made my own feelings on the matter through painting:
My veeery rushed and last minute submission to a monthly challenge - prompt Blacksmith:
And here's my submission for another challenge elsewhere due tomorrow or the day after I don't know, timezones. Another secret partner scenario, and they'll be added together by the event host:
March is almost over, wish I had done more but apart from helping a coworker fix up a wedding photo gift, I haven't done much, new job has been very demanding... Not many personal works underway but take up group projects when I can to keep the creative juices flowing...
