December is a busy month with lots of celebration. Which means, unfortunately, I do not very many projects to report! No need to feel glum, I do have a few things to showcase that I completed!

EDITORIAL LETTERING – Dog Breed

Lagotto Romagnolos I learned were primarily a truffle dog. I wanted a texture that looked FUNGI-ish. I found inky red splotches on UNSPLASH from Creator Pawel Czerwinski. This texture was something I transformed with a little TLC into the glittering gold creeping in along the left of the LAGOTTO lettering.

EDITORIAL GRAPHIC – Mini Poodle Clip

I have also spent more time exploring and refining my Photoshop skills. Photoshop has never been my forte. I wanted to showcase this recent editorial graphic. The poodle was in a grooming shop in the original photo. I worked on my masking and clipping skills to remove the background. I added calming lavender vectors that complimented the poodle’s coat color behind it.

Dabbling in Watercolors!

I am new to this medium but have cut many large 9″ x 12 sheets down to practice. I first started with photos I found in FoodNetwork magazine. It is a learning process but I have a passion for CREATIVITY! I feel like I already have a “style,” though which is exciting!

I plan to add these to an Etsy shop as cards or wall prints.

As I mentioned before, not a whole lot of projects to round up. Quality over quantity I suppose! If you like any of these projects, comment below. AND if you REALLY liked them, be sure to contact PENNYDOODLES for freelance projects by e-mailing violetinkdesign@gmail.com.
