holiday postcard assignment

this assignment is for one of my classes. objective: create a holiday themed post card. of course i chose christmas. what better idea than to do a piece for a class and then use it as a card to give to family and friends? it was a no brainer. this was my sketch.

cheesy maybe but i can't seem to do a piece without animals or trees in it.
this was the final inked: 


for once i actually start feeling confident in my piece but at the same time terrified to start the painting...

welcome to my studio

aka the corner of my room! it'll do for now...

to the point

i am starting this blog to show my process in creating art, hoping this will motivate me to do more and inspire me in getting better.
