I didn't get a lot done on the magnolia painting yesterday but I did a little goofing off playing with my graphics software and some filters. The result is a cartooned version of my photo.
This is certainly nothing earth-shattering and not even news-worthy but I figured some of you may be looking for an update post and I didn't want to leave you without anything at all!
I did finish a commission this morning and am now working on one of the "for fun" photos that I said I wanted to do. I'm pleased with this one as most of the photo ref wasn't what I wanted so I had to improvise. I used the eyes and nose from the ref then had to draw the rest to my liking. I'm not finished with it and probably shouldn't have started it but the right colors were already out from working on the earlier commission so I went ahead with it.
I'll go back to work on the magnolia hopefully tomorrow even if I don't finish the puppy painting today. And I'll try to remember to show the commission after it's been given. It's a gift and I don't want to spoil any surprises.
