I'm Heather Hudson; I draw pictures of odd and illuminating things.
If you're reading this, you probably signed up for my newsletter at a convention or after a Kickstarter campaign. Welcome! Thank you for your interest in my work! You can see more of it at www.artofheatherhudson.com.
I will be at Emerald CIty Comic Con next month! Visit me at Artist Alley at table DD-11 to see what I've been working on!

My Make 100 Coyote Child Enamel Pinscampaign ended successfully! Thank you, everyone, for your support!
Kickstarter is still processing payments as I write this, but the project funded well over my minimum goal so I’ve already started the pins and the card backs. Also I've finished a first rough draft of the stretch goal story reward, in all its verbose glory!
Updates will follow as the rewards come together, after ECCC!
The secret sketch of the month is a preliminary study for my digipainting "The Old WItch." It's a sketch from reference in black and white pencil on a 9"x12" brown wrapping paper, drawn to figure out how the arms would be lit and how the skirt crumples when the witch sits in front of the fire.
I found the drawing in my files recently, and share it so you can see one of the hidden steps that helped me take the Old Witch from an idea into a finished picture. Also, I still like her expression.
If you'd like to give her a home, the sketch is available for 75 USD + 7 USD shipping in the US (82 USD total), or 75 USD + shipping outside the US. Contact me for more information if you're interested.
The final digipainting “The Old Witch"is currently available as a limited edition print in the Studio Wondercabinet store. You can see it here, and also purchase it if you are a US resident. If you live outside the US, contact me directly to arrange payment through Paypal.
