#082 | 365-Days of Color: Baby Jaguar Drawing

The theme for this month in the Masterclass is courage. I’d also say this is the theme for my life at the moment, and for some reason big wild cats make me think of courage and bravery.

This sketch took me at least 2-hours. I’m discouraged that drawing is still so challenging and frustrating for me. I feel overwhelmed when I draw sometimes and I want to change that!

P.S. My print shop is officially open as of this past Sunday. Let me know what you think. It’s the spring Collection prints.

Daily Creative Quiet Time

Here I go! All through 2022 I’ll be sharing my daily creative quiet time routine. I’ll shoot for 10-minutes a day (at least) progressing through a Commission, or an Online Animal Art Masterclass tutorial, or a Youtube tutorial, or artwork for Collectors.

For me the creative process involves more than just colorful paint, it’s an act of praise and worship. I chose the phrase “Confidence in the Lord” as my art/life focus for the year. I plan to pull colorful inspiration from bible verses, the valuable lessons of life, and the vibrant paint I get my hands on! Now lets paint.
