Draw Anything: Brown Squirrel

Hi viewers. 


Hoping everyone is well as you can be, and 

your new year is filled with a treasure quest of creativity. 


Let me jump straight into what this post will introduce with everyone. This series of post titled "Draw Anything" will be featured in a labeled area called "My Style Test". You can view this for your pleasure or something to help you improve as a creator.


Since I already know what quality of art I would like to create, art tools chosen, so this is an attempt to practice my style process by converting anything drawn. 


Every illustration may not look like one type of approach to converting chosen subject matter, except I will make an effort to share consistency that you might be able to follow along or approach your style test process with the same references. 


This is only my one way of practice, no expectation of anyone to mimic my process. Take what is shown as a steppingstone towards what you can produce artistically for your own learning curve goals to improvement. Think about your chosen art aesthetic qualities, flow with your design process, color the way you color, and see the creator you would like to be with the results.


I believe if you become too critical or critique your progress based on what you envision without acknowledging your chosen perspective of the converted idea or subject matter, that will make your learning process more challenging to accept or agree with. 


If you are working towards that vision, you will eventually get to where you are going, so keep questing to complete that goal. I am on that path too, because my chosen art aesthetics are varied (About 4 or 5 types I would like to incorporate in the quality of my art - together, mix and match, or single choice). 


With all of that being shared, chosen art being shared will be free use content, and I will do what I can to not post anything copyright. If you are searching for free use reference photos, I found "Pexels" website to be useful, at the moment. Thanks goes to those who made their photo content useable as free references.


Life is being what the Creator wants for me, so the rollercoaster ride continues. Keep the faith, walk by the spirit, for those who believe as long-suffering is part of the process of his mysterious works. 🙏✝️👼
