Amazing - I am so in awe of your talent!

That is so awesome @babsbag my mom was an artist and she just let me run with it as I grew up. When I was in my accident last November I was concerned I wouldn't be able to draw again. I had numbness and shooting pains in my hands from my neck. It really put a hault to everything for me. It took me a couple tries before I got anything that looked what I wanted it to look like. I still get the pain and numbness if I don't do my stretches so I just make sure I do them.

Glad you figured out a way to continue to enjoy your skills; life can be so cruel sometimes.

Here is my Dalmatian that my mom drew...just to inspire you to move on to pets if you don't already do them. I wish my mom could do my BCs, I would love a portrait of them.

People will pay good money to get a pet portrait. Of course my mom usually did them as gifts but she did sell some people ones.

That is amazing @babsbag :th

I wish I could do the color portraits this way but I have not had the time to play with it as needed.

I have sold portraits in the past. I specialized in pet portraits last year but decided to work on the people as well.

I can't seem to find the one I did of a lab that I donated for a raffle but a lot of my items will get donated to rescues or local events to auction off or raffle as well as I went ahead and made some gift certificates to donate as well.
