My first ACEO...but I'm keeping it!

So I tried to make an ACEO. Yes, with all good intentions I set out to make something quick that could be sold for a couple bucks on etsy. It started with a simple sketch and then ended up taking a lot longer than I had anticipated. It's my first time painting in quite a while and I think I did a pretty good job. I think it looks super cute! Now I want to make more! But any thoughts of selling it for five bucks on etsy are now out the window, heh.

Here's one for the road

I've just discovered that scanning really dark pencil can be hard because the light bounces off the lead. But this one came out okay.

Back just in time for winter!

I've been super busy lately which has resulted in a lack of posts, but now that things have let up a little I can reveal some of the pictures I've been working on. I've added some new pieces to my portfolio and I'm working on a new layout for my website. From the time I last posted, so much crazy stuff has happened- it is amazing how you can be in one place & situation and then in a completely new one in 3-4 months of time.

All of the pictures I've added were done in Illustrator, which is pretty much my new found love when it comes to coloring. I've picked a couple favorite parts of my pictures below:

It's fun to color jewelry- and I thought ^these beads^ came out pretty well. These are taken from this picture:

I like how this bag came out. I could probably tweak it a bit more, though:

Just a few favorites. Gotta love that vector art! :)
