WIP Wednesday 230705 (Patreon)

I’m ready to be done with summer, TBH. It seems to suck out my life force.  Still, a few things have been happening:

Whipped up a quick character Design to try a new shading technique.  It may prove useful in combination with my usual soft airbrushing, especially for sharper edged highlights and shadows.  Check out the highlights on the shoes.

Trying something different for the full moon pic this month.  I would have like to have this done by now but I’ve been having trouble carving out the tIme.  This is actually much further along—the based colors are set— I’m just trying to keep some mystery.

Finished one commission and picked up three more since my last update!  Above is a sample of the one I’m currently working, which actually ties back to a piece I posted here years ago.  More to come!

This weekend my focus is supposed to be on yard work, which has gotten out of control.  Alternating record heat, heavy storms, and smoke from wildfires to the north have made it hard to keep with the lawn and weeds.  Any time for drawing will probably be reserved for commissions.  But I do have a vacation starting in about a week (that‘s why the yard work is so urgent this weekend) so I;m hoping to really get momentum going on the other projects that are out there.

Also—still taking suggestions for Fan Art Freebie Friday!  Drop ‘em in the comments!

Thanks,

SAS
