My process: It is drawn on a brown grocery bag. I like the tone for her coloring. It is done with marker and then a few accents of chalk pastel on top.
I love my little red girl, Windry. She is a 'Red' Shiba Inu. She's dainty and beefy at the same time. She is charming and beautiful. I haven't really drawn her much, because the task is a bit intimidating. I haven't been able to capture her beauty so far. But I am determined to get her on paper! This is a study for a future book I am working on. She is lying on the ottoman in her favorite sunspot.

I've had a book all planned out for years. It is in thumbnails dummied up on paper. I just do an illustration on and off when I can. This book is all about Windry. I'll be glad to do one with Diane. We've talked about it in the past; we have several ideas, actually. I sort of put it on the back burner. Maybe I'll have to pull it to the front when she is ready.

I just LOVE the fact that you used a paper bag! You could sand down parts of the bag to make it "fade".... just a thought.

Hi. I'm Ann.
This is where I post my current thoughts and ideas about the topics that resonate with me, and how I work them out as illustrations. This is my work in progress. Blog Categories
