Week 19 Animal Art Series: Peacock

| terriaw

In order to continue my mission to draw all the time and fill up more sketchbooks in 2016, I’m working on a new weekly theme to do daily drawings, while experimenting with watercolor. At the end of each week, it’s nice to have lots of new drawings and a full page illustration.

I’m getting a little more caught up lately, so I finished another sketchbook page last week for my week 19 illustration, which was a Peacock. I continued to do a similar process with this illustration: light pencil sketch, base color, details with my beloved tiny paintbrushes and a watercolor wash for the background.

The theme for my week 17 sketchbook page is Backyard Birds. I used watercolor for the base layers and all the outlining and details. I’m becoming more obsessed with illustration using my watercolor pans and tiny paintbrushes.

I just recently started a new full-time job, so I’m a little behind already on starting my next set of animal drawings. But It’s always nice to take a little break, reflect and regroup, so stay tuned for more fun animal art. Happy drawing!

It’s been great fun been trying to draw all sorts of animals this year.

It’s been great fun been trying to draw all sorts of animals, so last week’s theme was Coral Reef. I used gouache this time which always produces brighter colors, with a splashes of watercolor. I tried hard not to use my black Micron pens for any outlining or details, which was a good challenge in working with paint and tiny paintbrushes.

It’s been great fun been trying to draw all sorts of animals, so last week’s theme was Sea Life, with a splash of watercolor in the background and more hand lettering practice. I love drawing ocean life so I’m going to keep going with this theme.
