I have been working all day trying to draw this certain character for a project I am working on and it has been a long day!  I think I finally made some progress but it was a struggle for sure!  I then read a fb message on my 2 Cute Ink Facebook page and decided to do a cute sketch in adobe ideas to inspire others!  A doggie came to my head and then I thought of this favorite dog bed my dogs use to have and then how they love to play with their toys! 

So I am working on inking new embroidery/digital stamp designs, which means I need to "outline" them.  Basically create that black outline right over my sketches.  I also am working on my own way of coloring in adobe ideas where I can make the black outline match more of the color of the character.  This way I can have a nice clean outline for digital stamps/digitized embroidery and then a nice colored image for my portfolio, threadless or cafe press/zazzle.  I think by having the outline a "color" and not black  gives it a better look for kids t-shirts etc.   Here is  peek of my work in progress!

The more 5's I get, the closer I get for a chance to get my artwork printed on a baby onesie! Vote Now! :)

I am currently looking to sponsor challenge blogs with my 2 Cute Ink Digital Stamps starting June 4th and would like to sponsor blogs each week!  Just email 2cuteink@gmail.com and let me know what dates you have available!

The more"5's" I get the better chance I have of getting my design printed as a t-shirt!

Here is a sneak peek of my second threadless submission created in adobe ideas. I will post a link if it gets accepted for voting! I am having fun thinking of ideas!

Here is a sneak peek of my first Threadless submission as 2 Cute Ink!  I started thinking this would be a fun way to get my creative juices flowing by thinking of "creative" drawings that I can enter at Threadless!  I do like how this one turned out so now all I need to do is upload the image onto the computer and place on a t shirt template! :)  Now I need to  think of my next idea!

I decided to take a look at zazzle.com after I checked out cafe press.com and I am leaning more towards a zazzle shop!
Does anyone have a shop at either place?
Just wondering if anyone have any thought?

Instead of inking this morning I decided to work on my first design for my cafe press shop. I used one of my recent sketches a, little elephant and had some fun playing with color in adobe ideas.   At first I had this little guy colored blue but I decided to color him grey instead.  I really like him colored grey  better!  What do you think I should put this on in my cafe press shop? I know I would like to have a shirt made for me lol. I was thinking of adding more water and splashes, maybe even have the water write out something?

I started a new project yesterday in adobe ideas, where instead of inking in black first I went straight for color!  So far so good, hoping this will be my first image to put on cafe press :)
