a loose sketch of my husband and i on top of a giant dead spider as my husband whips a towel around

An acrylic painting of my husband and I along with our pets in a Conan the barbarian style.

Cool thing about this sketchbook is it led to my largest acrylic painting to date, my 5th anniversary painting. The original concept came about after my husband saved me from a spider in our bathroom, but the painting wouldn't be made for a couple more years.

Some concept sketches of Mushroom King, Uniocorn Hunt, & the Mermaid Tri-piece

Mushroom King A blind dragon sits in a fairy circle inside a cave

Unicorn Hunt Unicorns graze along a babbling brook unaware of the elves that hunt them.

A glow in the dark tri-piece painting of a mermaid befriending a sea serpent

Its so hard to choose my favorite pages in this sketchbook, but this one is definitely a top contender as these sketches led to the creation of three beautiful illustrations.

I've attached a couple fun facts regarding the final pieces.

A watercolor painting of my little black dog Ozzie.

some sketches of Dumbo and my dog Ozzie

Sometimes it only takes one sketch to figure out what I want to make. Like when I painted Ozzie. I made the sketch when I saw him just so I could get the idea on paper.

Ever wonder how I make all those Winston & Friends drawings in April? Well more often then not its starts out with small quick concept sketches like these, usually made the night before or the day of.

Concept sketch vs final image is always amusing to see
Specially when I do very obvious color based illustrations lol
My full-body poses are always weird if their not standing in an actual space cause I almost never know what to do with like the legs lol
