With it being the last day of school I’m ready to show what i have my drawing board. This beautiful pup is growing on me as I pull in some of the essential details. She’s looking so good. Excited to show you the next update already. Be ready for some posts coming up on secret commissions I finally can share. #drawing, #aleciagoodman, #2022, #portrait, #pastels, #dog, #labradoodle
As I’m working on this one starting to get excited as some of the details lost in shadow are found. Livy is looking good. #aleciagoodman, #art, #portrait, #dog
This beautiful and sometimes shy girl is starting to take shape. Nothing like figuring out past notes and numbers to get her matching to her previous sisters’ portraits. I’m working hard to figure out some of the details hiding in the shadows (aka nose and eye area). But the magic is working thanks to some amazing movie soundtracks, 300 and Titanic, I’m rocking out to. #aleciagoodman #portrait #pastels #painting #drawing
My daughter wanted to do chalk drawings today after school. This guy emerged and I enjoyed being quick and loose with it. He won’t last long though as it started to rain on us. I think we need to get some more chalk, especially black. Where’s your favorite place to draw? #aleciagoodman, #pig, #cat, #sidewalk, #chalk, #bubbles, #bath
It’s almost there. I was really excited about the speed of this one. The whole thing came together so fast. Now to figure out the words of encouragement. My son suggested Kung Fu Panda, “Embrace Your Awesomeness!” I think thats perfect. How to get it to work… #panda, #art, #painting, #watercolor, #aleciagoodman
My daughter gets to participate in state assessment testing this year. I’m currently working on a poster to encourage her to do her best. Not too long ago I did a special dragon for my son. Thinking this will be a fun one to paint. What do you think and how would you approach a poster? #panda, #sunflower, #sketch, #watercolor, #aleciagoodman, #pencil
Inktober Day 12 Roof, I struggled with this one a bit. Mainly because I love drawing architecture. I wanted to focus more on a piece rather than the whole. With a little research I found just about anything can be used on a weather vane including flying pigs, mermaids, dragons, horses, and dogs. What would you have for a weather vane? #Inktober, #roof, #rooster, #directions, #wind, #metal, ink, #art, #farm, #fantasy, #aleciagoodman
I went back to my graphic design roots for this one and touched upon non-allergy animals with this one. Naked cats aren’t for everyone and feel very different from the fluff balls I grew up with. We recently discovered that cats are one of the many allergies affecting my daughter. It’s been a sour subject to be sure. Does this one work? #Inktober, #sour, #lemonade, #vintage, #nakedcat, #naked, #logo, #cat, #ink, #art, #drawing, #aleciagoodman,
Yes, I’m way behind…but plan on getting it done. This past month has been hard emotionally and super busy. I’m hoping things slow down and my heart can rest and recover from losing a friend. It hit me hard and dealing with other pressures it hit close to home. A lot of people are dealing with mental issues right now. Before anything else remember to be kind. You don’t want to hold on to the pressure of what ifs.
Sometimes I draw friends with their permission of course. I wish it looked a little closer to my friend. I didn’t want to do too much though and mess it up. Thankfully my kids recognized him. He might look a little scary, but he’s really just a teddy bear at heart. Still probably a good idea to stay on his good side. I hope my friend thinks its close enough. #Inktober, #art, #pressure, #American, #Indian, #glare, #man, #glasses, #bandana, #aleciagoodman, #drawing, #ink
