I Gave Up My Career To Raise A Family And To Stay Creative I Started Drawing Miniatures Every Day
I wanted to get back to my original passion of drawing that took me to art school. It has been a long road in the opposite direction. I graduated from Emily Carr College of Art and Design as a Graphic Artist. I worked for many years and truthfully enjoyed very little of it.
I did, however, enjoy my experience as a character animator when I was employed by a video game company! Years have since passed. I gave up this career to raise a family. My creative juices took a back seat. But recently (almost a year ago) I decided to begin drawing. I decided to commit to a year. I am drawing and posting every day except Sundays. I'm almost done!

You are super talented! All these wonderful drawings need is an app to turn them into emoticons that others would love to use. Then you will be set money-wise and can keep drawing for all of us (if you would like to and have time. Family first). I myself know someone who could do this (if you don't already have someone in mind). Thanks for your great work.
Shawnalee Anderton (Submission author) 9 years ago
I love the idea but I wonder how they would 'hold up' being so tiny.

It's one of my favourites too! Some animals tap into my more expressive side in my drawing. Thanks for taking the time to look at my work 🙏

I can totally see this one as a Corgi - Shetland mix, which sounds like pretty much the definition of cuteness on four legs
Shawnalee Anderton (Submission author) 9 years ago
It does look like a mix. This guy is actually 100% Corgi but he's a little unusual. Extra long and extra furry!

This looks just like my Corgi and Beagle mix, and she is Red and White! Full of life, and energy! My Bailey!! I wish you could draw her!!

I had a long haired corgi just like this...she couldnt be "shown" and I was told they were a "throwback" and called "fluffies". She had the sweetest nature.

I'm happy to hear that. Sometimes I wish I'd never started that. It can be really hard to think of an appropriate title that begins with "I am..."

Rather than just throwing them out, I once left an old favorite pair of backpacking shoes neatly on a park bench with a note saying "We've seen the world and we're tired. We'll rest here for a while". I hope that image brought a smile to someone's face that day, after all the smiles I've had on mine while wearing them.
