What I've been working on lately

There's so much to tell. I've been away from my blog and just want to tell you why -

I've been trying out Hype 2 software for HTML animation, studying fantasy drawing and cartoon drawing, celebrating Christmas and busyness in the stores, baking, decorating my apartment, and doing gigs on Fiverr.com, and other on-demand sites.

I ordered a few mugs and a tote bag on society6.com. I'm very pleased with the finish and quality. I wish the tote bag was more rugged, and I'd be willing to pay for that, but the quality is good and the price is right, meanwhile. My drawings looked excellent on those products, which I gave for gifts at Christmas.

As always, I'm trying out pastel and charcoal drawing techniques. It's a lot of sketching, that isn't really worth showing. Just for practice. My goal right now is to finish a cat drawing I just made specifically for a comic panel. So this one will be different from others I've shared on society6 products and Fineartamerica, and everywhere else, because it'll serve as a sample of my style to be shared on cartoon forums such as penciljack.com.

During this week between Christmas and New Year's, I hope to settle on fewer, more focused forums and social media for sharing my ideas, art, and services. Fiverr.com is a definite yes; my newly recreated Facebook page is too. I will likely drop instagram and even twitter, in favour of routinely participating on Fineartamerica.com, deviantart.org, penciljack.com, cgsociety.org, and maybe even flicker.com because they offer opportunities for showing work, getting critiques, and getting hired!

Watch for news in the new year.

Happy holidays,
Heidi
