New Video On My YouTube Channel: Space Feather Illustration




Hi friends! I just uploaded a brand new video to my YouTube channel so please check it out, give it a like and be sure to subscribe. 

For this project I used watercolor paper, pencil, Micron ink pen, and Windsor & Newton watercolor paints, but you can use whatever you have on hand. 

Feathers are super-popular right now in art and illustration so I thought I'd share my own version...the space feather :) 

I start with a pencil sketch to get my shape on the paper, and then I bring in the big guns (black ink pen) to go over the outline and add the designs. Using simple lines and circles and a few spirals I fill in the feather areas thinking up the designs as I work. 

Once my drawing is finished I add a little bit of watercolor paint just to give it a blush of color.

I added the script lettering so that you could see how you can easily fancy it up by adding an additional line on the down-stroke, and then fill it in with a little bit of watercolor paint to tie it in nicely with your painting. 

I hope to do a few jewelry making videos in the near future so be sure to check back! 

If there is anything in particular that you'd like to see just leave me a comment!



















I hope you have a great week! 
Love, Laura

New Design Listed on Society6 - Blue Space Feather

Hi friends! Tonight I listed a brand new design on Society6, so be sure to check it out here! I really love the way this piece turned out!





It started as an ink drawing...


Working on the design



I've been drawn to sketching feathers lately, and laughed when I realized how much you could see my jewelry designer influence in my finished designs. But I like them. I think they're really unique. Anyway, once I had it all drawn out, I added some color with watercolors, and then photographed my artwork and added it to my Society6 collection. Here are a few of the pieces in this collection... 











This design is available in many more items; iphone cases and skins, laptop sleeves, travel mugs and even bedding. There are so many great gift ideas at Society6, and they run great promos too. I think today they have free shipping and 20 percent off of many of their categories. 





If you haven't visited Society6 yet, you really need to check it out! There is so much amazing artwork from talented artists from all over the world.  

Shop this collection at Society6


What do you think?

Have a great week!
Love,
 Laura
