Happy New Year! Three Rough Sketches of Tigers...

 This year I'm ringing in the new year by working on a tiger painting for Chinese New Year.  Here are three rough sketches, I've decided to refine the one in the lower right.  Mainly the paws are a bit smol.  It's been a while since I've completed a painting, this one will be a challenge, but I love painting animals, so it's one that I will enjoy.

Happy New Year Wishes!

Happy New Year! Sketch of a Bantam Rooster, January 1, Art Sketches Daily

I hope you have a wonderful new year.  This fairy angel and I send Happy New Year wishes from lisarusso.com.

=======================================

Here is a sketch of a bantam rooster.  I didn't quite fit all of this bird once again; however in this case my focus is mainly his face, I'm planning on attempting a small portrait of him for Chinese New Year...  

I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in January.  This is day 1.  I believe it is my 335th day of consecutive sketching since February 1st, I hope to continue to challenge myself to sketch often this year...  Some days are better than others, but I very much enjoy the process. 

This is a rough sketch.

Happy New Year! A Burst of Golden Fireworks...

I took this photograph of fireworks at Downtown Disney quite a while back, but I thought this burst of golden color was beautiful.  Happy New Year to you!
