I love drawing elves and ponies, so here we go! A good dose of both! : ) Elf Maiden with Pony. Mixed Media - Janelle Dimmett 2023 - www.janelledimmett.com
The result is not as good as I imagined. But anyway I want to share it, because:
- others may find it great,
- art taste is subjective,
- even if it's bad, you can receive a constructive critique or tips on how to improve it.
Don't be afraid to share your failures. They push you forward. You can learn a lot from them.
Painted as my final project for my Painting Environments course. I was super nervous about tackling this one, but learned a ton taking this course. I'm happy to move on to the next one. :-)

Another version of lantern illustration.
I wanted to redraw the last illustration. But I changed the concept while drawing. It's a beauty of creativity - it can surprise.

A dragon I designed and sculpted, took many many hours to complete but super happy with the outcome. Sculpted using polymer clay, painted with acrylic gouache and coated with varnish.
