Cute Art and Illustration by Amy Pronovost

Had a decent show! While I didn’t sell as much as I would have liked to, I saw a ton of old friends and made a bunch more new ones. That is worth its weight in gold.

One new friend I made was the amazing Garrett Hanna who, while being an amazing artist, is also a fantastically nice guy. We shared a table, I traded him a drawing of Wartortle for a print of Batman. And I didn’t notice as I was clearing out, but I left my markers behind at the show. Garrett emailed me and let me know he had them, and he is going to mail them to me.

Holy crap. What a standup guy. That was a few hundred dollars worth of markers I almost lost.

So yes, go look at his art because he’s a great artist and a nice dude who totally saved my bacon.

Will have more post con wrapup after I get everything done. I also need to sleep

I ams uper sad about my markers because it means there really won’t be many colour cards for my Clone Wars set that will be in packs. Sorry, guys! But that happens D:

This is what I’ve been working on for most of the summer, a (relatively) quick ash-canesque, black and white book for ‘How Harold Got His Wings’ (Written by the venerable Sarah Braun). The cover will be in colour, I’ll be staying up late tonight!

Just a sneak peek at my process. I draw at different sizes (And I had done my sketches for a larger format of book) so the toning is helping even out the shapes of the illustrations.

I’ll have this available at Fan Expo in Toronto, limited to 50, for $10. And you’ll get a scribble

A new finished commission for you all to see. Awesome like a Possum!

Inked and coloured in photoshop.

I ran a little free icon drive (Not on the website, sorry, did it on some more targeted social networking things) to figure out how much to charge for icons. The full colour ones were for people who tipped (One of the ones on the full colour sheet is not in colour because I’m waiting for reference), the mostly monochrome ones were the free ones.

Want an Icon? 100×100 or 150×150 icons – $10 for colour, $5 for tones. One character only. If the character or scene you want is complex, the prices will be more.

Now to move on to some bigger pieces of art, I am going to get a very rough Harold book completed for the con, working on that this weekend while I am in an Internetless area!

I have some new art, but it’s a lot so I’m breaking it up over a few posts. All of my art is in the galleries (hint: Teeny commissions, Clone wars widescreen cards and Custom Sketch cards) but here are a few select cards I really really liked

More Sketch Cards can be found here. And I added a couple to my deviantart I haven’t added to the site yet

I am finished with my semester and I have more time and energy to draw!

Here are a couple of fun pieces. One is a commission of Yoda, and the other is a bookmark I’ll be selling once I get my hands on a laminator.

In between my studying (I’m in school to be a Med Lab Technologist), work and a few commissions, I managed to squeak in a ‘How to Draw’ tutorial Bonnie’s been trying to get me to do for a while. Well! It’s Easter weekend, so what better time than to have a rockin’ rocket rabbit drawing session?

Here is the full final piece:

And, hey kids! Download a larger version of the inks, print it out and colour it in.

My helmet is complete and I am able to post it. I’m sending the process to the 501st Project website so they can spill all those details, but here are the pics and some info:

Materials used:

• Ceramcoat paint (lots and lots)
• Pigeon feathers (picked up off the ground)
• leather cord
• dollar store faux tribal necklace for the beads
• Air dry clay
• faux suede (I wanted another colour, but it was on for next to nothing a yard, and this was all they had left)

Check out the 501st project site for more details!

I was hoping to have had these drawn last weekend, but school and work came first. After a minor, yet, major mistake (Wrong stuffed animals with the cats!.. oops, yes, that certainly warrants a free redraw) here they are.

Cuties!

I take these cutie commissions every now and again. If you’d like to be on my cutie list, let me know and I’ll put you on the priority list the next time I open them.

I’ve added some new art to my Teeny Commissions gallery and to my sketches and pencils gallery

A couple of examples are right here:
