  • One of the things I’m so grateful for from my childhood was my parents making the holidays special and fun. While skipping church we would search for our Easter baskets, engage in heated egg wars (do other families do that or was that just us weirdos?), and eat lots of grandma’s pierogis (dad remember when I heated some up as leftovers and you accidentally sat on them? 😂). If you’re with your family today give them a real good hug and laugh extra hard at their dumb jokes, because those are the good times. Happy Easter! . . . #illustration #illustrator #easter #easterbunny #bunny #pink #thatsdarling #makearteveryday
  • My newest Skillshare class is live! If you’ve been stumped about how to make your scanned paintings come to life in Photoshop, this is the course for you. Link in profile ❤️ see you there bb’s (after I sleep for 12 days) . . . #illustration #illustrator #danielsmith #dscolor #paint #painting #watercolor #floral #flower #bouquet #spring #makearteveryday #skillsharebydylanm
  • Today @society6 launches Lil 6ers, a collection for the younger audiences, and this brand spankin’ new “I got you babe” print is being featured for the launch ❤️ I know this is a mama and baby unicorn, but honestly this is what I needed to read for myself today. I’ve been insufferable the past few days guys - my ego is all over the place, I’m cranky and prickly, I’m side-eyeing my way through life. But no worries, I’ve got you, Dylan babe, this too shall pass. Link in my profile if you want these cuties hanging in your home. Also S6 just launched mini prints and they are too cute. Too. Damn. Cute. . . . #illustration #illustrator #society6 #lil6ers #unicorn #pink #nursery #vintage #retro #draweveryday #inkdrawing
  • I’ve been working out this pattern in-between two hour chunks of time focusing on my next Skillshare class, and I’m really excited to show you the tools that will make your painted work endlessly usable in Photoshop. Here’s a dump of words and ideas from the class outline that my brain is currently chewing on and organizing: selection tools (lassos, magic wand, quick selection, color range, quick mask), non-destructive editing, adjustment layers (levels, curves, hue/saturation, channel mixer), indexing color, layer and clipping masks, edge refining, removing backgrounds and unwanted elements, content aware patching and spot healing, aaaaaaand a bonus on using that work to make repeats inside of PS. It’s going to be jam packed, JAM PACKED I tell ya. Right now the date I have set on my calendar is the 19th, time to get back to work if I want to make it in time🤓 . . . #illustrator #illustration #repeat #patternrepeat #surfacedesign #surfacepatterndesign #patternobserver #retro #vintage #floral #botanical #wildflower #garden #spring
  • Note to self: when you make bold claims like “maybe I don’t like watercolor” you will wake up the next day and rebel against yourself by painting watercolor leaves and really enjoying it. I’m not complaining. Sorry for the whiplash. . . . #illustration #illustrator #paint #painting #watercolor #ink #botanical #leaves #vintage #retro #makearteveryday #doitfortheprocess #creativebug #holbein #danielsmith
