A quick commission from an etsy client who wanted some Mad Men characters to give as a gift. How sweet!
What is especially spooky is that they contacted me literally DAYS after I first started watching it on Netflix 0_0
But anyway, despite that these were meant to be quickies I put in some extra effort to capture a more realistic likeness. I hope you all enjoy.

Your art is fantastic! Your animals look adorable~ what is your secret?
Thank you so much!
Basically its lots of study from life and photographs and practice practice practice.
I try to do random sketches often, not to complete but just to practice the technical aspects of drawing. This includes proper proportion, measuring, capturing a likeness, ext. The advantage to just sketching with no intention to finish it is that there is no pressure to get everything pristine, and I can just focus on the learning part. It helps me be much more prepared when I’m ready to sit down and draw something I plan to finish.
Here is an example of a recent sketch dump with some of my animal and human studies :-) http://helloheath.deviantart.com/art/Sketchdump-01-309344582

Portrait #2
Full color portrait of my big brother’s future bride.
I have owed them a Christmas gift for like ever so I finally got around to it! I love doing portraits, but really struggled on the backgrounds for some reason. Originally I wanted to incorporate a filigree, but after playing around with several different designs for HOURS I decided they should stand alone.
Enjoy!

T-shirt design I had mind. Inspired by the haunted mansion at Disney world I when the ghost heads pop up from behind the gravestones but alittle more vulgar.

Tattoo Design I recently completed and the ink progress from the client! Can’t wait to see this completed #tattoo #art #helloheath #heatherhitchman #phoenix #bird #tattoodesign #illustration #freelance #freelanceartist
A very fun custom phoenix tattoo design for a client. She wanted to incorporate the quote and a twisting banner.
We went through a few mockups with this one, and ended on this really eye catching choice. I can’t wait to show you guys the final ink once the tattoo artist is done, the client already sent me photos of the outlines! w00 h00!
enjoy
