Virtual Sketch Date For July

Copyright Jennifer Rose Phillip

So this month there was another picture to draw for the Virtual Sketch Date. I managed to get some more time this time around to participate and thought the fruit would make a nice ACEO.

This month the reference was supplied by Leslie and she has a really great tutorial on her blog so go check that out. Also go and look at all the other art that people have done this month. Links with all the art will be posted on Sunday. Enjoy all the different and wonderful art :D

*edit* I really have to remember not to watch a movie that has any kind of military vehicle in it, 'cause Mr.Fuzzy talks over the actors trying to explain how the vehicle works :P Then again it was only "Reign of Fire" and I just want to look at the dragons and Gerard Butler so I don't need to hear what they are saying :p

    This feels like a tropical sunset!

    I am laughing at the 'watching a movie and talking at the same time' thingey. I usually hold the remote for TV programs so that I can pause and "attend", then I resume.
    I have trouble following some movies, and if I don't hear every word, I might as well not watch :)

  8. thanks everyone! :D this was a lot of fun to do, and doing this as an ACEO meant I had time to work on it. Next time around I will probably do another ACEO so I can have a little album full of the cards drawn for the virtual sketch :)

  13. Love the colours. Nice design, scrumptious! I like your idea of having an album of cards - I have real difficulty working small.

  14. Mary GrandPré is the world renowned artist that created that covers for the American editions of the Harry Potter novels. This piece very much reminds me of her work. The colors are vibrant and there seems to be actual movement in the image. Excellent work.

  19. Chrissy if your go to the coloured pencil forum on wetcanvas there are a lot of threads full of really helpful hints and tuts. And everyone there is very welcoming and there is a lot of people that are willing to help with anything. Just be careful if you do go and look at the site, can get very addicting reading and posting lol
