Daily Creativity: Love Your Body

Daily Creativity: Love Your BodyPart of the Love Your Body series, Watercolor note card. You can find the inspiration for this painting on tumblr.

After a discussion about drawing fat characters thin I found myself needing to paint a lovely fat body. Most of my models in art school were larger bodies, they are easier to paint and I find them lovely. For some reason I am hearing people say thin bodies are easier to draw, and I don’t understand that. I think it may have something to do with the influence of anime and not drawing from actual models or images but from how to cartoon books.  Either way, I was very happy painting this.

Daily Creativity: April Fish!

April-fish-2015-smToday was April Fools, or April Fish as the french say. Each year I do a fish themed creation, today I took a photo I was saving for my Love Your Body series and transformed her into a mermaid. I tried to make it more realistic too, no hair, scales, and webbed fingers. Painted in ArtRage on my iPad using various watercolor and oil paint settings. 4/1/2015
