A Cat called Tizzy

My cat, Tizzy, really doesn't like cameras being put in her face but one day when she was hiding from the scary vacuum cleaner in the bathroom, I got a brilliant full body photo of her. With this photo I decided to work on watercolour skills and my detailed realistic skills since I tend to focus on very fun stylised work especially since finishing alevel art in 2018. I love working with watercolours and always have so it was my obvious choice to work with for this pet portrait. The painting is on A3 watercolour paper. Since she is a very white furred cat it's tricky to get her to look really fluffy so I used grey watercolour and grey pastel pencils to lightly make her look as fluffy as possible and I think it turned out well. The blue watercolour wash in the background represents her favourite toy which is a blue flamingo with catnip inside and a little bell. Tizzy doesn't look the happiest in the drawing as she gives this grumpy judgy look when there is no room for her on the sofa. She really is the sweetest little cat and we love her very much. This painting is up on my parents wall in their landing and replaced a tardis crayon art I did back in 2016. I really enjoyed doing this pet portrait and would love to try lots more in the future (the next post is also a pet portrait so watch out for that) but i would love to practice more and maybe evem do pet portrait commissions if that is anything that interests you or anyone you know.

magical witch

This character is a draw this in your style started by @_banshee_art_ on Instagram to celebrate their 600 followers. This witch is very magical with her love of crystals and her pet snake. She's been in a few scraps and has a bit of blood dripping but she's still happy. I always love joining in to dtiys challenges as people create such interesting characters that I would never think of. Take this one for example, I'm no expert on witches and a lot of things surrounding that so I don't tend to draw them often apart from if I'm drawing a children dressed as a witch ready to go trick or treating. This witch on the other hand is grown up and a bit more sexy with her lower cut top and her tattoos. I made her hair looks  magical with her bright colours and shinyness. Her pet snake is very cute and have a wonderful leafy plant pattern on her. As alway with my dtiys posts, if you have a dtiys that you have created and want more people to join in, send then to me on Instagram or Facebook or twitter or whereever and ill give it a go!!!

Summer Strawberries

Happy summer! its not felt too summery much this year, it seemed warmer in April when we could leave the house than in June and July when England as been more open. Strawberries remind me of Wimbledon and those fun summer days of sitting in the house watching tennis all day and having Strawberries and ice cream for pudding each evening, so good. I was feeling summery and wanted to do a fun, bright and colourful pattern design for summer time. Wow I've types summer a lot, does it still sound like a real word? 

I didn't used to eat a lot of fruit but I am getting better now and a lot less fussy. I used to only have apples and Strawberries ( but only in season) but recently I've been trying a lot more fruit and its quite nice. Hope this increased fruit consumption continues when I'm back at university living away from home but I'm not sure it will. Whys fruit so expensive?!?? Seriously Lidl I won't pay £2 for like 10 raspberries. Might just be my thriftiness shining through again.....

What is your favourite fruit?
