getting into a rhythm

Meet 'Sammy'. He is the character I've been developing over this past week. His personality is inspired by at least 3 other 'Sammy' dogs that we know. The character itself is drawn after the looks of a Boston Terrier, but obviously the color is different.

This week's topic was: welcome. Again the ideas gave birth to mounds of sketches and ideas, but two rose to the top as favorites as I also considered 'Sammy'.


I used watercolor in both these pieces, with the exception of ink on some of the details.


The squirrels ran up the tree away from Sammy. They chattered, "You're not welcome here!"

  4. Wonderful watercolors! Sammy is adorable, and that's a terrific perspective from the tree. I feel like I should be gathering nuts.
