#spiritsandmortals week 5... Hidden Treasure! Would have been nice to render this a bit more, but I’m trying to limit my time on each one (and hopefully improve my speedpainting!) 🌟 . . . #hiddentreasure #artchallenge #weeklyartchallenge #glow #hands #paintinghands #hidden #glowing #sparkle #treasure #conceptart #visualdevelopment #efspanton #painting #speedpainting #digitalpainting #digitalart #artistsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Btb2cXGFOi1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d4wzig7fjde8

I fell behind on #spiritsandmortals so have combined the last two prompts to catch up! My tiny explorer investigating #abridgeandstream in the #moonlight 🌙 This felt a bit incoherent, I think I had too many light sources to contend with🤔 Good to practice sketching environments though! #practicepracticepractice #backgroundpainting #tinyexplorer #artist #efspanton #digitalpainting #environmentconcept #conceptpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/BtJ7cauFL7L/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2qt9wm0ajlpy

Oh this is so important. I see so many artists drastically underselling themselves on here, and on other platforms. It can be difficult to figure out what to charge for your work (I still struggle), but ‘never go under minimum wage’ is the best place to start!

I’m thinking of posting my rates online.

I’m going to get hate for it, and I’ve been told it’s looked down upon if you want people to take you seriously, but I’m not ashamed of how expensive or inexpensive I am.

I think it would help me a lot because I know like 80% of people don’t wanna open their email app lol.

Had a lovely afternoon with @imogen_k_spanton at @nationalgallery’s Drawing with Wolves event yesterday. The wolves were a pair of gorgeous Lupine Dogs who were very snoozy for the first half of the class. Swipe across to the last photo to see my drawings from later in the class when they were moving about, and all I could sketch was a leg or a head before they moved 😂 it was great to practice drawing live animals, and we learnt so much about dogs and wolves from @watermillwolves! . . . #drawing #wolves #lupinedog #lupines #watermillwolves #nationalgallery #wildlifedrawing #wolfdrawing #sketchbook #drawingevent #efspanton #artistsoninstagram #drawingdogs #animalsketch #study #drawingstudy (at National Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs5VoKIFztp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=di7e6k70qj90

We did a family Christmas decoration challenge this year - it had to be based on the 12 days of Christmas, so I made a lord a-leaping! 💃🏼 . . . #christmasdecoration #handmade #10lordsaleaping #12daysofchristmas #familychristmaschallenge #paperpuppet #illustration #design #efspanton https://www.instagram.com/p/Br297gcl2OE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gq5g6uoyzq9a
