delightful! Love how his tail wraps around toward her.

Omg! lolll!! This is so cute and funny!! :D

Thanks! And thanks for stopping by!

100% true :D

:) Milk and cookies for all!

I reckon your digital is working really well. The colours are nice and soft. It looks like pastel. Have you tried scanning in some watercolour washes and using them for the coloured bits? It gives you that granular texture.

Cool! I haven't but I will sure give it a try!

who can blame her? it's easterrrrrr :D ehehe
lovely work. :)

I love her excitement, it is joyfully contagious.
Happy Easter.

Bring on the sugar rush!!! Adorable as usual Christine!!

Thanks Fados, June & Bethany! :)

so cute :)

It's PERFECT!! I LOVE the muted background, too!!

Thank you so much! Can't believe how much I am LOVING digital painting!

These are incredibly cute babies! I like that your digital work still retains the hand-drawn look.

That's the nicest things you could've said! I'm trying to keep my style with the digital painting.

Looks great, Christine! As if you've been using this medium all along! I wish I could adapt to digital mediums so easily!

Thanks so much! What a nice thing to say! I feel like it's taking me forever with the digital and I'm finally getting somewhere.

Happy New Year Christine!!! I hope this year is the best one yet! I've been catching up on your posts and I keep thinking "is there anything she can't draw?!!!" . You are awesome.

Aw Bethany!!! You just made my day! Thanks so much for stopping by:) Wishing you a fantastic new year with all sorts of great happenings!!

Ha ha! She is just PACKED with personality! Great sketch!

Thanks! Hoping she'll find her way to my website-which I am redesigning since I can no longer access it:( for some reason.

Your digital illustration skill have developed nicely :o)
Wishing you a New Year filled with happy moments.

Thanks! I still have soo long to go. Happy New Year to you as well!

they are just adorable! Love them!!!

They are welcome to call in for some hot coco at any time :)

Lovely;)))

Thanks you!

I loooove these little elves! The lightened background, their rosy cheeks...everything works together so well that I can taste that warm cocoa. One of my favorite holiday illustrations that I've come across this season!

Thanks so much!!

Super-cute! just liked your FB page!

Thanks! And thanks for stopping by FB:)

Facebook is handy to keep in touch with your lovely work... but I still love visiting your blog :)
Frosty here in the UK, so bring out the Hot Chocolate!

Hi June! I'm glad you still stop by:) I wish it was frosty here...been in the 70's!! :(

So adorable!

Sweet image. You may not care for the hair, but I've seen several babies with hair exactly like your picture. :-)

so sweet.

Hey, thanks for posting the digital result. She is quite different from your watercolour work, but I think she has charm... you are getting there with the digital.
Remember - it is a whole new way of working and you have to find the effects that make you happy... it isn't easy to learn new methods, but you are doing so well.
Keep going, it will all pay off in the end.

I agree, digital can be challenging but I think this is a wonderful illustration. Any new medium has it's difficulties but what I like about digital is the availability of so many amazing treatments. It is like having an art store in your computer. :)
Just need to find the down time to practice.

Those are too cute for words...I must check her shop out right now!

I think I'll adopt that thought, too, if you don't object.

Go for it! It's the only way to fly:)
