Muddy...

When I thought of muddy I wanted to include a piggy.

I've never had a fancy mud bath myself but they do look relaxing and fun. This little piggy certainly looks relaxed.

  1. Interesting style. I like the dark lines and use of 'real' texture with the inked in work.

  2. Thanks Andrew! I've been having fun playing with this style. I also work a bit in watercolor.

    And thank you Vivian! I do love drawing piggies.

  5. Thank you Shirley! I do love a good pun ;) I thought "muddy" was a great theme to work with. Thank you for your kind words and support!

    Thank you Sally! I tend to avoid pointing in the details when setting a scene and I'm trying to work on that. Plus I find drawing characters relaxing to be a soothing activity.

  6. Great Zen-filled scene, Kate! The sand garden makes me think of afternoons drawing at the MFA.

  7. Yeah I'm pretty sure I stole a few ideas from the MFA, that folding screen looks awfully familiar;)

    Thanks Jeff!
