WonderCon Commissions and mini paintings

Here are some commissions I did at WonderCon! Thank you to everyone who stopped by my table. It was wonderful to meet you all and I had a very exciting and busy busy time! :D

I also wanted to share some new mermaids for my mini frames. I will probably be saving and bringing them with me to conventions later on in the year.



Here are the pencil drawings



And with watercolor! I try to fit as many on a 9 x 12 watercolor sheet as I can. Usually it works out so that all the paper is used unless some turn out yucky and get X marks through them...


I will leave you with a mini painting of this little tropical girl. My company is taking us to Hawaii for a week and I'm really excited!!! I'm sure I will have paintings to share when I get back!
Ta-ta!

Chinese lions!

Chinese New Year is coming up and today Juan and I were able to go to Yee's Martial Arts where my brother and sister were practicing lion dancing. Their studio is going to be performing in the parade in San Francisco and it was really neat to see them prepare for it. I give them extreme credit for what they do..it looks so hard! Here are some of my sketches.
Different lion heads

Mermie

I really don't know how to paint but my goal is to learn how to this year...For my birthday which was on the 23rd, Juan bought me the entire set of Dr. Martins concentrated watercolors which makes me sooooo happy!!!

I am so inspired by Bill Presing's wonderful style of painting. Here's a mermie in watercolor I did last night.
