Grey Days Illustration No. 2

Another grey days illustration for illustration 4.
Acrylic ink, watercolor, colored pencil, technical pen, marker and salt.

The scan looks a little too muddy for me, but TRUST ME, it's way better in real life.

Enjoy!
Love,
Mary

More!

I failed to post these two other illustrations from a couple weeks ago!
They're both 22"x30", watercolor, acrylic ink, pen and colored pencil.
They're about 2 different desires, one inherent (to appear attractive to a mate) and one learned (to exercise)


Love,

Grey Days... or Gray Days. Whichever.

I just finished this illustration.
It's pen, acrylic ink, a tiny bit of watercolor, and lots o' salt!



I also had my junior review on Monday!
I was incredibly nervous about it, in the end it was really great.
I got a LOT of good feedback, and a LOT of constructive feedback.
I couldn't be happier with the way it went :)

Have a good night/day!
Love,
Mary

Mock-up


The bag is officially mocked up.

White base with the pattern on front and back. Magenta ribbon with a little bird tag attached with black ribbon. The bag is about 7 3/4"x9 3/4".
I also changed up the colors according to the critique that we had on it. I lightened the big flowers, everything that is blue and the hearts.

Enjoy!

Love,
Mary

GAAH

It's been a while, and I literally have two three illustrations that I have yet to scan and get onto my computer. So I'll have those up as soon as I get them back.

But for the meantime, here is a pattern that I made for a baby shower gift bag:



I mocked up the bag itself last night, so I'll snap a picture of it and put it up on here soon.
Enjoy this tiny shred of what I've been working on lately!

Love,
Mary
