Watch me ink, then paint in watercolour, this artwork for some home-made Xmas Cards. If I finish all these there are more to sketch.
Two rough sketches: one is a stylized scene of two polar bears in a forest setting (yeah, I know WRONG HABITAT so sue me my mum likes bears) and the other a cat in Xmas gear.

I love Transformers. I cannot draw Transformers. Thus I relied HEAVILY (O so very very heavily) on a reference photo for this. Watch me colour it for practice and kicks.
