Portrait Fun.

I present you: Reese Witherspoon. And by the way, I hear a rumor that August is Artist Appreciation Month, so all you artists need to get out there and strut your stuff. 

Marketing Thursday

This is my first attempt at a Mermaid illustration. I've always wanted to create a Mermaid piece. It requires a little thinking outside the available visual reference out there. Lots of fun. Painted in Acrylic on stretched watercolor paper.

Snail Painting. 1st Attempt: Digital

Okay, so. This is my first attempt at painting snails. It's possible to get this elaborate doing it digitally. Not sure I could pull this off with a real snail. I'll just have to wait and see, when I encounter one.

Marketing Thursday.

Yes. It's that time. It's the moment all of us dread at times, but the design part of it can be so fun, and why not make the marketing side of illustration fun? After all we are creative, and we are perfectly capable of creating a fun marketing experience for ourselves.  Anyway, this is a new and improved layout for a postcard mailer. In fact, I might consider this same layout for a single sheet mailer or e-mail sample as well. Please give me your feedback on this layout, it would be greatly appreciated. 

Need Help!!!!

Alright artsy friends. I need suggestions with this rough comp. Yes it's rather rough. Does her left hand look as though it might be resting naturally on the seashell behind her? I hope it's still large enough so you can tell what's going on. I would love suggestions. I'm going to be moving further with this on Wednesday night. Your suggestions will be much appreciated. xoxoAmber. 

The Weird Creatures Museum: The Goat & Dog Hybrid

Here is my attempt at creating my hybrid creatures. This particular animal consists of a goat, dog, perhaps even cat or squirrel. Notice they have claws instead of hooves. The males have horns much like a billy goat, and the females have a uni-horn, much like the unicorn, or perhaps it came from the unicat.  These creatures have heavy fur and prefer to live in Antarctica.

...and here's one I drew today.

I drew this one today......
