TAD Finished

Well, it’s March first, which means Thing-A-Day is over. I completed more then half the month before work and sickness won out. I’m sad I didn’t actually complete the challenge of doing something everyday, but it’s been a good month overall. Maybe I’ll put myself up the the challenge a different month of this year.

This ATC is for a lucky cat swap. I’m happy with how it came out. Since it’s a few days late I also made a lucky bamboo ATC for my swap partner.

The next ATC swap was for the Year of the Tiger, the Chinese New Year. I love tiger’s eyes. They fascinate me. I don’t think I captured them well, but I did a good job.  They are brighter then they came out in the scan

This is by far my favorite one. I pictured a simplified version of a tiger stalking through a bamboo forest. I just wanted to give a hint of the bamboo. I really like how this one came out. I almost kept it for myself I liked it so much. But I thought I should share my success with someone else. I didn’t use a reference, just free hand with ink and then a light wash of watercolor.

I renewed my ‘drawing birds with colored pencils’ book from the library. I hope to draw a few more before I give it back.

    These are all interesting, Littlelynx! I like the cat one at the top and the tiger one on the bottom with all the writing on it. Good work!

    Muy excelente

    I love birds. You know that already, but still. I LOVE BIRDS!!! They are the cutest and the best. Keep drawing them, all kids. I want to see something outrageously colorful — a small tropical bird, or better yet, teh current bird love of my life, the Japanese Mejiro. Google its bright green goodness and be overjoyed… this little guy exists and even ventures to Takayama 🙂

      All kinds. All kids was a sort of confusing and vague typo. Rofl. Adult birds are OK!
