This is a gouache sketch I made this morning. I don’t do landscapes very often, so this was a fun departure, and good practice.

Painting a Spot Illustration, Part 1: The Line Drawing
I created this illustration in a uStream broadcast earlier this month. You can view the archived video here.
I will be creating a series of posts explaining the making of this illustration in-depth. For part 1, here is how I prepared my line drawing for painting in Photoshop.
Legendary
Here’s my Illustration Friday entry for the week. This is Mr. Theodor Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss. He is one of my heroes, and certainly a legend in my book.
Hello world. It’s me, Dani.
I rarely draw pictures of myself, but someone suggested I make a self-portrait in my cute drawing style, so I did. Sketch was done with ballpoint pen and watercolor.
The sketch was done during a live uStream session. Here’s the video:
Also includes a small tour of my workspace and a sketch of a cute bunny. Note that there’s no audio for the first 8 minutes because I forgot to turn the mic on. Sorry.
I draw live every weekday at 10 AM EST, if you care to join me. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/dani-draws
New Zazzle Products
I recently revamped my Zazzle store and put in some new merchandise, including mugs, stickers, and large-format posters. I also plan to add more in the near future, so keep a look out.
I was also pleasantly surprised to be featured on Zazzle’s front page last week, as one of “Today’s Best” for March 6. Awesome. Thanks Zazzle folks!

Intricate
Here’s a sketch I did this morning, inspired by the Illustration Friday theme “Intricate”. I first thought of an egg, and of course I had to think of something cute to put into it.
I sketched this during a uStream broadcast, so you can see the archived video here: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1220986
