It's National Dog Day!

I was cleaning my studio space some more and I logged onto twitter for a quick break -- and found out it was national dog day!!

I HAD to draw a dog to celebrate!

Maybe I should make it a goal to adopt a dog on next year's national dog day :)  

So here's mister Black Labrador Retriever: 

red cheeked cordon bleu lovebirds

It's been about 2 months since I moved back home and I've been slooooowly but surely cleaning my room.  I finally got it to the point where all my art supplies are in my room and my desk is clean! I was ready to do some watercolor paintings but as I was looking through my computer I found the red cheeked cordon bleu I wanted to finish.. so I ended up finishing this digital illustration instead!

p.s. the red cheeked are the males. They're so cute :)

It's been 4 years...

I recently did a pet portrait of a friend's dog and I realized I haven't even drawn my own dog yet!

And this August is the 4th year since she passed away and it brought back feelings as I looked up some old photos.
I absolutely love dogs and not only that-- she was like a sister to me.

I'm saving up money so I can adopt a dog in the near future. 

But for now, I hope my baby's happy in doggie heaven. <3
