Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 105

[GREETING GOES HERE]

What's Going On

Lot of painting studies recently loll

Random Drawings

Birds but no bees:

I made a new background for this one:

Don't think I nailed the likeness, but I'm trying to get better at it:

I think I'm having trouble with faces cause I've created a habit of automatically using specific colors even when it's not how they actually appear. Also cause faces require much more precise measurements (that I don't have the patience for lol)

Interior Book Illustrations

A quick assignment to draw 3 interior illustrations for a book

What I've been thinking about

I'm calling a well known board game illustrator tomorrow. I'm pretty excited! Let me know if you have any suggestions on what to ask
