Illustration: Firebrand & Aquarian Fleece

A very anime-y work, an almost-ode to fashion. Almost, because I do not design clothes (!), nor do I profess to be stylish, nor had it crossed my mind that it was a talent of mine–but it is something I enjoy. Since I make butterflies, I’m always looking at different fabrics and materials to make the projects easier, if possible. I’m drawn to flowing fabrics, which is evident here and in other pictures like ones in recent posts. on my other blog, there’s a photo of this illustration before any colors were added here. . . .

As always, thanks for visiting and viewing these works and hitting like or follow.

Media: prismacolors, micron pens, acrylic glitter on the fleece.

So this is what I’m currently at, yes, at 2:40AM, energizer bunny. This is my smallest sketchbook yet, 6×8 inches, and the reason for it is because the smaller pages are easier to scan. This is my “desk”, and what’s usually on it:

Except for the cherry coke; I prefer juice, but we’re out. You can see my ancient pencil sharpener, and in the upper left corner the book I use as a reference for painting butterflies. That brush there, yes, that is a make-up brush, but it is far more useful to brush away pencil lead dust and crumbs created by the eraser. I believe in makeshift things. Those pens: the white one is a Le Pen, the gray one a Pilot Razor, and to the far right I’ve laid out the colors I intend to use.  . . .And that tiny thing in front of the pencil sharpener is a seashell I found at the beach last year.

Free art because you probably wouldn’t see it otherwise! Just finished this one a day or two ago. Media: prismacolors, letraset marker, glitter acrylic paint, and micron pen. Thanks very much for viewing this stuff. I know there’s tons of great art out there, so I appreciate any visitors to the gallery.
