Tortoise and the Hare drawing from Monday Night
Hey Guys here is my drawing from Monday nights Group Drawing Session. The Tortis and the Hare is a great story with two opposite characters. I'm also posting my favorite Artist "Scott Gustafson" his oil painting on the Tortoise and the Hare.

CLASS POLL??
Would anyone be interested in a live demo class focused on traditional art media in addition to character drawing? Possible topics include: - 🖌️ My Oil Painting technique - 🎨 Watercolor + Color Pencil - ✏️ Graphite / Charcoal Drawing - These would be relaxed demo-style classes where I walk through my process step-by-step while explaining techniques, materials, lighting, color, rendering, and storytelling. Which one interests you the most? ⬇️ Vote below! ⬇️

@Angel Alvarez Thank you!!! It definitely was a fun one & I was so excited to use the techniques we’ve learned from you to illustrate her super up close pose. I wanted it to feel like she just swam up to say “Hello” even though she’s super shy & awkward.❤️

@Angel Alvarez this is my first watercolor painting on Arches cold pressed watercolor paper & this was definitely a learning experience! I modeled my pirates outfit on Captain Amelia’s from Treasure Planet for my daughters who love that movie.❤️ I have to admit that I’m having to get used to the heavy texture of this paper & was not loving this illustration at all until I added the color pencils & ink. But I do love how she turned out.❤️

@Angel Alvarez thank you so much for encouragement! I have 3 packs of this paper & I am determined to figure out painting on it before I buy anymore.❤️😂
