Doggie postcard

It's a rarely seen thing here - more dogs than cats!

Some time ago I've been asked to create a super cute illustration with plenty of animals for a postcard for District Dog, a pet shop in Brooklyn, NY. I liked the idea and I fell in love with the overall look of the shop - it's so much different from those I see here in Poland.

But let's get back to the illustration! Here's a bit of the process :)

 I've started with finding my way in drawing animals that were supposed to be on the postcard. I have never drew a parrot so it took me a while to 'feel' it. But I skipped the cat and bunny process - I draw them a lot and didn't really want to make them look different than they usually do. They look just fine as they are :)

 Then it was time for few sketches of the composition. I start with the tiny thumbs, then make a bit bigger ones where you can actually see what's there.

 Then I re-make them to look clean and pretty, for everyone to see and understand what I mean. Green and orange areas are the places when text can be put.

 Transferring the sketch.

 Artistic mess :)

 And the finished picture. I like it a lot :) And this paper is superb - so thick!

 And here you can see a colour composition I've made and the final image. I've made only few minor changes along the way (blanket on the left has got a bit different pattern, there is an additional tea cup, a tea towel hanging on a handle is green, not blue). I usually make changes while painting and add details without further consideration :) It's just how I like to do it.

And here's the actual postcard that you can get at the District Dog :)

Super cute, isn't it?

 Hope you like it ^^

DS II 23

Finally got to the point. It's the last of the late Daily Sketches, now I'm up-to-date :)

It feels nice.

Here are next 2 catmarks. I like the white one, it's the same silly type that this U-cat :3

All the bookmarks and catmarks are on my Etsy shop - feel free to check them out :) They're really cute!

DS II 22

 Two cats for day 22. With the first one I did not have a specific idea how to cut it out so it's more oval. But I think that the 2nd version looks better. Don't you think? :)

Check out my Etsy shop for more bookmarks.

 And the last U-cat bookmark :)

Illustration Friday - Forward + DS II 20

Do you remember my cat? Well, it's a secret but I'll tell you, she became a super cat lately :) She often disappears and when comes back she wears a cape :P I should tell her that she is supposed to hid it before showing up again.

You can find this picture in my Etsy shop in the Little Pieces section.

DS II 19

 All those dots and spots remind me of a circus and/or clowns. This cat looks silly with them :)

Find this bookmark in my Etsy shop in the Bookmark section.

DS II 18 - Misiokot

 This is Misiokot - my Love's cat. He's not a zombie here - he looks like this when I learn him walk on two legs ;P

DS II 17

Siamese cat for day 17! When I was young we had a Siamese cat named Casper (after the cartoon ghost, I think). He was a silly cat always falling from places and being clumsy :)

Check out Bookmark section in my Etsy shop for more kitty bookmarks.

Cell phone cases aka Christmas gifts

Here are beauties I have made for my sister and mum as Christmas gifts. I didn't want to spend a lot of money this year (even if you try to do it in a more cheap way, it still is expensive. A bit less expensive but expensive) so I've decided to share my new talent of making cell phone cases. I think they came out really neat! :)

For my sister Kate:

For my mum:

I've made photos of the green case before Christmas and the purple one's photos are more recent. So my mum have made the case a bit 'fluffy' as she called it ;) But it still looks nice (I just have to trim it once in a while so the heart on the back side won't disappear under this fluffiness).

How do you like them?

I'm just in a progress of making 3 more cell phone cases. All of them will be available on my Etsy shop - Secret Drawer.

Little Pieces Sell-Out

It's been a while since the previous sell-out. And since I've made a lot of new small pictures it's a good opportunity to sell them all :)

Daily Sketch - 78

It actually is Daily Sketch 80 but since I don't have a scanner right now to show you the previous ones, submitting this one seems just right :)

I've made this one as something that can be used in a banner of my Etsy store but after all it's not suitable. I'll make something else later.
