Well, only a few slugs. We're mainly talking a week of snails...
First up, I never knew they were such interesting creatures. You should nip out in your garden or over the nearest field and catch yourself a few to observe. They really are most curious - probably comes from having their eyes on the ends of stalks! They also move surprisingly fast - especially when you're trying to sketch them!
I've been sketching the 'slippery little suckers' for Lilla Rogers' Make Art that Sells course. This week was all about children's book illustration - something way out of my comfort zone but oh so much fun!
I ended up with two versions of my book cover for a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale - a rather dark story about a miserable snail incapable of seeing all the good that was right in front of his face. Which do you prefer?
Sharing the snails with Sunday Sketches :)

They are both adorable. The firstis my fave.
ReplyDeleteLove your sketches. I like both covers, but lean towards the first.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the second version, he doesn't seem as miserable. I guess the top version represent him more.
ReplyDeletehope you have a great day.
Love both, but think that the first is more of a cover, I see the second as inside the book. However they are awesome.
ReplyDeleteI especially like the first more green guy and the second one too. Hard to choose my favorite! Happy Sunday Sketches! Thanks for sharing your work :)
ReplyDeletegreat art lisa. how is the course? I was curious but kind of maxed out on e courses...
ReplyDeleteHow fun! The snail studies are marvelous, and I love the whimsy in your paintings. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteYour drawings are so fun...so unlike slugs in real life. :)
