A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song. ~Maya Angelou

I'm so behind. Illustration Friday's, Moody Monday's, Creativity Exchane... I'm plunking away here, breaking a sweat, trying to stay true to some sort of artistic integrity by not letting myself do less than my best. Which is a joke because I seem to invoke this OCD-side of me at the most inopportune times.

*Shake it off, Nomad. Shake it off and move on.*

I thought I would show you guys some of the steps I take to create some of my images. This one is for Illustration Fridays. Last Friday's theme was "Angels and Devils".


Step two- Once I scanned it in, I transferred the image to my laptop then fiddled with the layout to where I wanted it to be. Cleaned it up some more...

Step three- color it in and save it. (I'm sorry I don't have the in-between steps. I forget to save it when I'm in the heat of creating.)
