The most amazing thing happened to me last Friday, February 1st. Anyone who knows me, knows how deep my Twilight obsession runs. So of course, much of my art is Twilight fan art. Well, my book page art got noticed by the official Twilight Saga social media outlets and they Tweeted, Instagrammed and Facebooked my art, causing me to fangirl squee and jumpy clap like Alice. It was a magical fangirl moment!
Nothing is perfect, but I can tell you that practice does make improvements.
This is a recent redo of a drawing of my kids. The original drawing is below it.
The original was done in 2015 and after 4 years of practicing, I definitely feel like I've made some improvements in my work. My kids begged me to redo it because they said that I made them look weird in the original drawing. LOL
Maybe in 5 years I'll do this one again, and see how I do.
New drawing - 2019

Here's some close ups comparing the old drawing to the new drawing.
The more of the story kids, is just keep practicing!
My love for the Who back began around 1980-ish. Some friends and I went to see
Paul McCartney & Wings "Rockshow" at the Colony Theater at 59th & Kedzie here in Chicago. It was a double feature with "The Kids are Alright", and even though I was there to see Paul, I was hooked on the Who from that moment on!
I've been lucky enough to see The Who twice, once in 1981 and again in 1989.
My youngest son recently discovered the Who and it has reawakened my love for them as well.
So of course, I have incorporated it into my art.
"The Kids are Alright"
Pencil and water based markers on mixed media paper.
I used a wet paintbrush to achieve the watercolor effect
