Cute Monster Might Bite-DeviantArt

In an effort to get my art more noticed this year I have been doing Challenges and Contests. I saw this contest for a Cute Monster in Deviant Art. I penciled it and inked it. Then I had Cindy scan it in and then I went into Photoshop and worked on coloring it. I forgot nearly everything J taught me, which is like mondo super frustrating, by the way. Normally I would just send it to him, ask him to help and he makes it perfect for me with all the right lines and strokes and then helps me color things in Photoshop. Though I always said "Thank you", it makes me feel like maybe I took his assistance for granted.

So now...I'm on my own...I had an idea of what I needed to do, but so wish he had a tutorial of how to convert a pencil/ink into a Photoshop File ready for coloring. Or I so wish I had wrote it down...lol.

Having to do this on my own in essence will help me and has helped me grow and learn more about Digital Art and Digital Coloring. I went searching for the knowledge I needed and found a few links to help me out.

Luckily I found this link and followed it the best I could
How to Trace/Prepare a Penciling or Inking for Photoshop

I have been working on some free classes from Shwe Khit Art and following her Free Tutorials so I am learning and getting a but better on my own...but it is still frustrating to now have to do this all on my own since we are no longer together. I know he said I could talk to him about art, but right now we are giving each other space and I am being boundary thick about that.

I don't think I did as well as I could have with my Artist Assistance from J, but thinking to the fact that I DIDN'T have his help, I think I did pretty good! :)

Here is my Contest Submission...The shirt says on the front

"If you don't hug me..." and the back says "I might bite you"

Would you be willing to click on the link and vote "Id' Wear This" on my Cute Monster T-Shirt to help me make it to the Semi Finals?

Sketch of the Day-Broken Arrows, Hearts & Tears

Broken Arrows, Hearts & Tears

Cupid's arrow broke before on my heart, my heart is broken on the mend, my tears are broken, weeping in blackness and sorrow and despair

Sketch of the Day "Jet Black Heart"


Was listening to Britt Black and Jet Black Heart came on and I thought That's what I want to sketch AND ink today!! Song is below if you want to hear it and Lyrics are beneath that.


Seems like ever ytime you try to walk into my life I feel the same
You're so cold and now you say you can't explain
But you're the one I want and now you say it's my fault anyway
As if you didn't know you break my heart each day.

And every time you leave me here,

Apart of me goes too, and now I know.

You took my love and tore it apart

It was over before it could even start
I love everything about you
From the tip of your tongue
To the bottom of your jet black heart


I need you baby more than anything I've ever felt before

And when I tell you this feel like I hit the floor
I sit up all night thinking of a way to make you feel this way
There's nothing I can do, I see you walk away

And everytime you leave me here,

Apart of me goes too, I hope you know

You took my love and tore it apart

It was over before it could even start
I love everything about you
From the tip of your tongue
To the bottom of your...

Jet black heart- you don't know that you are everything to me

That's something you can't see
Jet black heart- you're the only one that's killing me inside
I need you to stay alive

And everytime you leave me here,

Apart of me goes too, and now you know.

And of your jet black heart

And of your jet black heart
And of your britt black heart
