I love this, they are just so cute. What a fun Christmas card they would make.
Great work as laways. How long does it take you from start to finish? Huga, Valerie
Thanks Marlene and Val! Hope you're having a happy, happy, merry, merry day! :) Val most of the drawings take me around 10-12 hours from sketch to color without breaks! Some of the larger one's a little longer.
wonderful! merry merry early christmas!
Beautiful work, love your awesome way of coloring! I get such comfortable vintage vibes of childhood memories when looking through your works. ^-^
aww, you are an amazing artist.
This one is super cute. Penguins are so fun to work with it seems. The Teddy face is sweet.
Wow! You are already in holiday mode... I am still enjoying the balmy weather. Can't even think Chrismtas yet. That said, love the penquin. :)
Another winner Joni! So very cute! Penguins are another favorite of mine!!
Hugs
So so cool! I LOVE that shot where we see your tools (colors) in the background too. You really amaze me. I so wonder what all this beautiful Christmas work is for - hopefully a book! xo
