Haven’t-come-up-with-a-title-yet – Sketch

Working on one of the sketches I did for the January Sketch Fest. I’ll be transferring this to canvas and painting in acrylics. ^^

Fantasy

This artwork comprises three of my favourite subjects that appear in fantasy work: a maiden (elvish or human), tiger and dragon. Any combination of the three in a single artwork makes me very happy, so I only thought it fitting that I put all three together.

6 x 8 inches. Acrylics and colour pencil on 300gsm acrylic paper.

Kitty!!!

Andrew bought us a KITTY yesterday!!! My husband is the best, love you babe!  <3

Here’s some photos of her on my computer chair. And that bright pink thing on the right behind her is part of my desk. Yes it is that pink! XD

Kitty Sketches

A tiger cub, aww! ^^

And a leopard.

Her Companion

Acrylics on Canvas.

This is painting is full of firsts for me: it’s the first time I’ve painted on canvas, the first time I worked at this bigger size (16×20 inches), and the first time I’ve ever painted a tiger! It’s also the right side of a two piece display. There’s a story behind the tiger in this artwork, but I’m not going to talk about it. You can make up your own tale for now. ~_^

You can see the Original Sketch Here, and the Work in Progress Here.

Her Companion – WiP

This painting is coming along nicely. ^^ It’s fun to be working at a larger size, in fact it’s the biggest traditional work I have ever done! Anyhoos, the background is pretty much finished and now I just have to work on the layers of fur and stripes.

(He looks more like a lioness or a cougar at this stage, but the white fur and dark stripes are coming next, along with much fluffiness!) ^^

Her Companion – Sketch

My first step into the world of painting on canvas! O_O My wonderful hubby bought me an easel so now I can finally paint on canvas – woooooooooties! So here’s the sketch for my very first canvas painting (16×20 inches)!!! He’s going to be a white tiger with a mottled green/blue background I think…I’m not sure yet, I think the background will just come together as I paint.

My five year old son helped me put some of the stripes on, see if you can guess which ones.

Interrupted

Kitty! From sketch to final artwork in watercolour paints and coloured pencil. ^^ LongStock’s cat Bruce was used as a reference for the pose.
