First OFFICIAL Commission! 8x10, Watercolor and Pen. Hey everyone! This time, I'm actually back. First off, let me say I was not planning to fall off the face of the Earth again. At the time I last posted, I had a little less than a month of school left and I had hoped I could wrap up all my final projects early and be done. I was wrong. My teachers assigned more and I had work due up to the day before school ended, but I survived! Since my last post, I do have some updates. 1. I did indeed graduate high school! I was very lucky my school not only had a ceremony, but it was at Soldier Field. (I'm very happy to say I graduated Summa Cumme Laude and with the honors of completing the Alpha STEM and the Arts program.) 2. I also got an Instagram! I'll be using it not only to post final pieces but also as a way to post progress. {@mapalomar.arts} With regards to this painting, it is my first official commission, past commissions were from people I knew (family or friends) but this one isn't. I can say I'm pretty proud of the end result, especially as a person who doesn't consider themself a watercolor artist, it's not too shabby. :) Anyway, I hope this piece will have a safe journey all the way to its new home in Massachusetts.

Shark time again.

Beginning Maude was so full of watermelon and sunshine that she needed a nap. Watermelon rind seemed like a very convenient hammock with a side of a snack. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQjMm25BcuU/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Minnie is the sweetest girl Mickey could ever have. So why not have her pose with a few sweet treats?

For this series, I'm trying to hone my beginner skills by focusing on the architecture of each strange creature through reference photos, while also using it as a log for interesting animal facts.

Beginning. Dee LOVED hats. She made very elaborate hats for herself and her friends. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQgWEpMhF2Z/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Ren and Stimpy fan art - these two were my childhood favorite and influenced my art, as you can probably tell, ha ha. Thanks for the idea, @Rayedrgn :)

Explored texture for shading in this line art. It gives an interesting look. I like my meteor bonking the moon.

I wanted to take snapshots of my day at the beach so I came up with the idea of doing story boards, little snippets of moments. Felt less pressure for perfection and created an atmosphere still.

Beginning. Eleleth got bored of dancing on the needle's point pretty quickly. Now he read. Cat's autobiographies were his favourite. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQT4rFaBuys/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
