Lizzy D's Art Blog|My art, projects, and life in general

Hello! I hope everyone is doing well this fine day!  Down here in the desert we have been getting lots of rain and it has been a nice 60 degrees.  Winters are wonderful down here but I do miss the snow.  I have been working on a piece the last couple of days for this contest.  Here is a photo of the work in progress:

To tell you the truth, I think I got a little excited when I started on this; it’s bigger than I had planned.  I can’t help it though – these characters were just so much fun to draw!  I am doing this in markers then adding in the details with color pencils.  I was going to post this blog yesterday but I had lost the ability to think straight and couldn’t remember how to get the photo from my camera to the computer.  After the obvious was pointed out to me by my husband I was already done coloring in most of it with markers, so here is the next part:

Now all I have left to do is the color pencil.  My goal is to get it done today but we’ll see how the day goes.  See ya!

Elizabeth D. Hill was born in 1980 and grew up on a dairy farm outside of the small town of Paul, Idaho. She was the sixth of nine kids and spent a lot of time helping on the farm and exploring the desert behind it. She has always loved art and so took classes and learned from her own experience through the years. Liz attended Brigham Young University – Idaho, where she graduated with an Associates of Arts degree in Fine Art. She has been married now for 8 yrs to her husband Chris, and they have a 6 yr old son named Marius.

Liz’s art takes form in many different forms including drawings, paintings, sculptures, and digital art. Her artistic inspirations come from all over – the natural world around her, books, and dance – but is most inspired by music. Her music collection ranges from heavy metal, to jazz, to classical music. Elizabeth developed her art by drawing a lot of fictional characters, focusing on pose and costume. She has painted pictures for friends and family mostly and had just recently started selling her art professionally. Liz’s primary mediums are Pencil and Marker, Watercolors, and Acrylics, though she has used other mediums at times as well.

Elizabeth’s mind is always busy with creativity. You’ll always find her carrying a sketch book where ever she is, and sketching the world around her. She finds the human body to be an art in itself and try’s to capture the beauty, movement, and emotion in it.
