Took some time to do some digital drawing today and created this pattern of cats. I started with a doodle from a meeting that I held onto, and it turned into this. You can get this cat creation, entitled Meow, at my shop on Society6. The link is in my bio! #julieviens #draw #sketch #cat #kitten #pattern #graphicdesign #feline #catsofinstagram #catdrawing #catdesign #meow #tabbycat #siamesecat #blackcat #whitecat #calicocat

Sleeping Doggie Sketches. Wanted to do some drawing today and decided to use my dogs for models. Tried to catch them while they were sleeping. Was surprised at how much they still moved! Badger and Silver are in the first image, and Coffee is in the second. #julieviens #dog #sketch #sketchbook #dogportrait #dogsketch #copic #copicmarkers #copicart #copicartist #dogsofinstagram #dogdrawing #dogdrawingsofinstagram #animalart #animalartist

Just finished a Drawing Vector Art Graphics: Hand

Just finished a Drawing Vector Art Graphics: Hand Lettering course via LinkedIn taught by @vglitschka Pictured here is my artwork for the Nesting Shapes challenge. I think it turned out better than my original sketch by far! I have included the original sketch so that you can see from concept to finish, the decisions I made for the challenge. Learned some great things, and would recommend it to anyone who uses Illustrator. #julieviens #drawletterforms #type #typography #nestedshapes #linkedinlearning #fox #vulpine #renard #clever #drawntype #handdrawntypography #draw #drawing

This is the first time I have done one of these #drawthisinyourstyle and I really enjoyed it!

Farting around with watercolors. Definitely in an exploratory stage with my @sakuraofamerica Koi Water Color set. Haven’t picked up watercolors since grade school. Hopefully this little Stormcrow is a sign of good things to come. #julieviens #crow #raven #bird #corvid #stormcrow #sakurakoiwatercolors #watercolor #watercolours #watercolorpainting #moleskine #sketchbook #animalart
