There goes the floating bear. Up he goes with his big red balloon.

Artwork: Loved Up Couple

Hello!

Sorry I've been MIA for like.... a month!? Oh my, I didn't even realise it's been that long. Anywho, I've been working on sketching and improving my digital painting skills. And look what happened?! Okay so it took me sketching, re-sketching, painting, re-painting, and several attempts at making the right brushes, but look see? - This cute little illustration of a boy and a girl in love. (OR maybe the girl is more in love with the boy than the boy is ? - what do you reckon?)

Daily Doodles

I've completed a few more sketches. I didn't think daily doodling would require a lot of work! But when you've got a full time job like mine, it does take a bit of extra effort. Which is why I've decided to only do a couple of sketches a week. Yeah? Two or three? Maybe one? That will become my new challenge. It is more achievable and I'm almost certain I'll be able to do at least ONE sketch a week! Fingers and toes crossed!

Here are the new sketches:

Burn

Holiday

Family

Geisha

Tangled

Thin

Fresh

Let me know which one you like!

Daily Doodles

I hope everyone had a safe and brilliant Christmas and New Years. I've had a couple of weeks off during these festive holidays and I'm already back at work tomorrow (eek!)

I can not believe how quickly the holidays went, I had a million things I wanted to get done and the majority of my time was taken up by doing chores and house renovations.

So I do apologise for these daily doodles being so behind, and they're still not up to date but I thought I'd share what I've done so far. More to come later...

Sunday picks

How has everyone's weekend been? Mine has been crazy busy. Only a couple of days left until Christmas holidays, and so much work left to do for these deadlines. My weekend has just been a huge cram session! I just can't wait to do nothing for a couple of weeks!
