7 Days of Color - The Project


As you all may have noticed I have joined in on the fun of the 7 Days of Color project started by Victoria Ying. The idea of the project is to create an illustration for every day of the week that corresponds to a color of the rainbow. Monday is Red, Tuesday is Orange, etc. I love to draw, but I love the idea of a challenge/project even more, so I decided to join in! For the past week or so I have been posting colorful illustrations to my Instagram and Tumblr.

I have been completely overwhelmed by the amazing response I have gotten on social media to the illustrations I have been creating. The kind comments I have received, the amount of followers that have taken an interest in my artwork, it is simply unbelievable. Illustration has always been a passion that gave me joy, but being able to share the art that I love to create with others and to have them react positively to it is the best feeling in the entire world.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for taking an interest in my passion. You don't know how much it truly means to me.

Rose


Hello everyone! Yesterday I went old school and spent the day painting with acrylics. I ended up with this lovely lady that I affectionately named "Rose". She is a character I sketched the other day while I was decompressing at Le Parker Meridien and I really wanted to take her to the next level. Below you can see my process pieces that led me to the final artwork...



I also wanted to announce that I now have a tumblr! I will still be posting to this blog with finished Etsy artwork and other pieces that I create, but I will be posting sketch work and doodles to my tumblr more often.


Have a great week everyone!
