Urban Fox

Feeling Nostalgic today. This guy is over 5 years old and was one of my first works when I started in LSAD in 2010. My drawing style has changed a fair bit, love of furry foxes - still intact !

"You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.”- Brian Tracy. Thank you to clients who allow me creative freedom and let you try a new process for their commissioned piece. I really enjoyed making this piece... Even though in the begining I thought it looked so sh*t when doing all the underpainting...I just decided to persist and trust the process... In the end it came together to a standard I am happy with. Look forward to getting this one framed. . Happy Sunday Folks! . . #Draw #Ink #inkfeature #animalart #animals #fable #fairytale #whimsical #linework #artist #instaart #instagood #paint #painting #gouache #bird #kingfisher #irishdesign #artfido #artnerd #pictureoftheday #artoftheday #fineart #drawing
Further Developments - creating a mate for Queen, by layering paint and creating a base of texture. I'm having a nice bit of fun with the vibrant colours. The gouache is less scary (for now). . . . #Draw #Ink #birds #kingfisher #animalart #animals #fable #fairytale #whimsical #linework #artist #instaart #instagood #irishdesign #artfido #artnerd #pictureoftheday #fable #forest #artoftheday #fineart #nature
Linework - This queen is starting to gain some soul now that I have begun applying the definition and line work. Happy Sunday everyone. I hope it has been a restful and peaceful one. . . . #art #draw #paint #inktober #pen #artoftheday #instaartist #sunday #wip #workinprogress #feathers #colours #fairytale #queen
Colour - While I love working in monochrome I believe it's so important to challenge yourself on a regular basis so you grow and gain new skills. Working with colour can teach you a lot , and throw in a new medium of gouache paint and it's a barrell of laughs for me. I"m building up some layers of colour , texture and light. I plan to go over this my trusty pen when dry to make this fellow come 'alive'. . . #helenagrimesart #Drawing #Print #Bird #colour #blue #orange #commissioned #wip#painting #fairytale #Dream#instaart
