Sketch of a Big Eye Fairy Angel with a Hedgehog, March 19 Daily Art + Snub Nosed Monkey Animal Original Painting Website Update...

Here is a sketch of a big eyed gothic maiden with a hedgehog.  I love hedgehogs, but I have never drawn or painted one before, they are definitely on my wishlist of what I'd like to paint...  She seems very protective of her little friend.  I think she is most likely an angel fairy, although she could also be a mermaid or goddess.  I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.

I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in March.  This is day 19.   

This is a rough sketch.  You may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like.

WIP Snub Nosed Monkey Animal Art Original Painting Work in Progress...

In this original acrylic work in progress golden snub nosed monkey painting, I've worked some more on his face.  I've also started on his golden orange fur in his body in this wip.  These monkeys are amazing, they actually have these colors in their faces and fur!  Animals can be so incredible.  I'm hoping to have this little guy done for Tuesday.  According to my calendar, Chinese New Year starts on February 8th and this will be the year of the monkey...  It is celebrated for weeks also, which I think is wonderful!


This is a work in progress, but I also usually post at least one finished piece on Tuesdays if you'd like to come to visit!  You also may see some of my finished paintings at http://www.lisarusso.com if you'd like.

WIP Snub Nosed Monkey Animal Art Original Painting Work in Progress...

In this original acrylic work in progress golden snub nosed monkey painting, I've blocked in the eyes.  So much further to go on this wip!  I'd hoped to do more yesterday, but it turned into more of an errands day than an art day...  Hopefully today will be better.  These monkeys have the most amazing colors in their faces and fur, I love painting animals!
