It's July, and the June Pet Portrait Drive over at NikkiMaki has officially ended. Don't worry! You can still order a pet commission! But we've adjusted some of the pricing and the styles. More on that and some new things we have in store later. Right now, I wanted to write this post as an exercise in transparency and education.

I didn't draw this weekend, but here are some recent sketches, including a progress update on that Drifter sketch from last week. Something that happens often in my process are creative blocks where I realize an area that I am lacking or struggling in and it puts a hold on everything. After feeling pretty good about the paintings I did last week, I realized where I don't feel as comfortable is the middle point between line drawings and fully painted art.

I have an odd mix for you today. First up, it's Ollie again. We had a surprise thunderstorm yesterday and it left his with a spook.
