Illustrating a dream in Copic Marker on Ingres drawing paper #earthday

April 22, 2022 by Sandy Allnock 4 Comments Filed Under: Featured

Happy Earth Day! It’s that holiday when we look around at this big beautiful planet and figure out how we can be part of helping it stay healthy – it’s up to us! My project today is….a little odd, but goes well with the theme – it’s an illustration of a dream I had of being a snail on….Mars?

Video

Watch the video below or click here to see it on YouTube.

Another drawing for the stash drawer! Some day someone is going to clean that out and wonder if I had a good psychiatrist while alive. LOL!

Freebie

Whilr creating this week‘s tiny tutorial, I also created a free Earth Day printable! And when you print out an image like it so big there’s no room for the sentiment… you have to get creative with trimming! 🤣 (although I think it’s pretty effective like this, what do you think?)

    Stunning art Sandy, realy stunning!
    If it only could be true that you could save the Earth Sandy.
    Let’s hope everyone try a little harder and it will eventually work out. Every little bit helps.
    Thank you so much for this awesome video, stay safe and have a wonderful weekend.

    Sandy, i just watched your you tube video. This is such an incredible drawing. Instead of putting in a drawer, please let me buy iy it. I love it so so much. I wish i had dreMs like that and could recreate them like this. I am truly in love with this piece of artwork. Any consideration is appreciated.
