So when Blythe asked me to depict my favorite literary couple, it was SO tempting to draw Katniss and Peeta! However, when I thought more about it, I’ve wanted Ron and Hermione to end up together since I was ten. Plus I feel like their relationship is often how my relationships are haha, they are so ridiculous!

Hi!
My most recent challenge was to illustrate a literary couple - I basically just wanted to draw Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy :)
So here they are!
For some more awesome Jane Austen - inspired work - go check out Liz Monahan’s work!

Hi!
Josh’s challenge this week was to design an Enchantress or Sorceress (whether good or bad), so this is what I came up with! Enjoy :)
(You can check out my process here!)

I just wanted to do a fun little water color of a sunbathing mermaid checking on her tan line! Enjoy!

This was my week for a challenge - so I chose mermaids! I think it’s hard to do mermaids without thinking of the ever-iconic, “Ariel”. I also like happy things, so I try to stay away from the mythology that mermaids lured men in with their song only to kill them.
Anyway, I have to complete a couple other projects first, so I am just posting a finished (more or less) sketch for you guys. I’ll post the final full-color when I have more time to do it right!

Hi! This week&#8217;s challenge was to illustrate our favorite Harry Potter character. I love Harry Potter so much it was difficult to choose one! But, I decided to draw Luna &#8220;Looney&#8221; Lovegood!

Hi friends!
Josh and I are back from our impromptu hiatus!
For my challenge this week, I suggested designing “Circus Performers.” Whatever allows me to draw a tutu, right? I felt like I should draw a man too, so here you go! :)
