the art of Becca Gautrey

I like birds. And cats. And well-crafted stories. Oh and food. I looooove food. I'm also really into all that art and animation stuff, but you probably already figured that out. Main Blog / Twitter

Soooo.. it seems I took an unintentional hiatus from tumblr and neglected this poor blog. BUT! I recently finished up a Motivarti mentorship with Bobby Pontillas(!) so now’s as good a time as any to sidle back in with an update! It’s been incredible and such a privilege being able to work with Bobby - with his help I’ve been exploring some of the characters from Northern Lights. This is some of the exploration/final designs for Lyra, Pan, Lord Asriel, Mrs. Coulter et al. There’s so much more of the book to explore too, so watch this space!

Okay I’m posting this up here so that I just stop tweaking it already, dARN IT /runs off/

I hit up pixelovely for some figure drawing because it’s been many many months since I’ve done anything even close. Trying to scrape through the rust.. man, I really miss uni and accessible, affordable life drawing.

Sorry about the lack of activity on here; here’s some stuff from twitter from a while back. I’m trying to dust this place off with things that are themselves dusty, and I am painfully aware of the irony in this.

Piece I was commissioned to do recently for a wedding gift!

Happy Birthday Bree!! Here's Patrik (&Fifi) knitting you a jumper especially for the occasion! <3 

[gautreeart]

Sorry for the lack of updates recently. Here's why... kinda. Thanks to everyone for sticking around! <3

It's breebird33's Lara, because she's the best!! ~<3

I figured she might read Agatha Christie ovo

Drawin' that I can use as an avatar for various online places. Featuring me and my babby.

[gautreeart]

Self indulgent Sailor Moon drawin'. And I included the uncoloured one too because I think I might prefer it to the coloured.

Tsuki ni kawatte oshioki yo!

Flowerrrr~

Patrik sketchy for breebird33! Happy birthday!!

Well.. seeing as how I don't draw my OCs very often at all, I decided use a rare bit of free time to colour some sketches of Grace, Chester and Midnight(??) (He needs a better name help me think of a good name!)

Some people might remember Grace from some oooold sketches from about a year ago? Yeah.

...I really need to draw these guys more.

[gautreeart]

I'm late... but I couldn't resist. Thought I'd go a bit more stylised on this one. 

[gautreeart]

Some sketches from Christmastime that I did for a personal project.. that I will get back to at some point...

She's a mischievous little Peruvian girl. Still haven't settled on a design/style though. Every morning her mum neatly plaits her hair, but as soon as she's out of sight she takes it straight out.

I'm pretty sure 2014 has been nothing but rain so far over here.

I haven’t even seen this film yet and I’m doing fanart wat. I just wanted to draw some sister feels! I may have had far too much fun with crazy brushes drawing frosty freezy stuff. And gotten perhaps a little too carried away...
