And here we are … it’s the beautiful music of Tchaikovsky and the lovely sections of the Nutcracker Suite that follow Fairies, flowers, and moonlight #symsat

This was the first time I tried making a maquette of a character head, after reading about doing that in "Imaginative Realism" by @jamesgurney .

I chose a red-eyed green tree frog, and then drew frogs dancing "The Nutcracker" ballet. As promised, having the sculpted head made drawing frogs from different angles much, much easier. How the eyeballs sit on the head would have been really hard to imagine, without a model to help.

Ink and gouache, finished digitally. I combined all the art into a fabric pattern, that I sell on Spoonflower. Because why not.
