A hobby of mine is drawing. Specifically, I specialize in drawing in a cartoony style which I have loved doing ever since I was little. Although most of my art is fanart from shows I like to watch, I have recently began trying to branch out more in more original art, most of which is animal related.

Back in July, I lost my little rescue syrian Woolley who had to be put to sleep due to illness. So to help with the pain of losing her, I doodled a picture of her and my previous hams all hanging out on big sunflowers at the rainbow bridge together. I liked it, so decided to colour it. I have worked on it on and off for over a month and finally finished it today!

The full HQ version of the picture can be found on my DeviantArt Page (http://pdutogepi.deviantart.com/gallery/) along with other pieces I have done. My art can also be found on my Website (http://www.choco-orange.co.uk) and Art Tumblr (http://doodle-drops.tumblr.com/)!

You actually drew that? Wow you have an amazing talent, it's fantastic :)
Honestly you could do this professionally, graphics for children's books etc etc. :)

Thank you for the lovely comment :) Drawing has always been one of those things that I've never stopped loving to do. Maybe one day I could do a job with it, who knows!

The picture was drawn by hand then all lineart and colouring was done on the computer with a program called Paintool SAI.
If anyone is interested, this was the original sketch I did before I did the lineart and colour :)

I used to have such trouble making smooth lineart until I got SAI. The blending on it is amazing too!

That is an adorable picture ^-^ I love how colourful and cheery it is! Makes me smile =D

I have recently started using SAI too, I used to use a really old photo editing program called Arcsoft PhotoStudio to do all my digital artwork with a mouse XD when I look back I have no idea how I managed to keep a steady hand!

Thank you so much! I saw you commented on dA so I checked out your gallery and you have some amazing work of your own :)

I remember having to do pictures with a mouse! I'm not sure how I managed it either! XD That was back in 2003-2004 before I decided to use drawing tablets.

it looks amazing... :)

Thank you so much :)
