The year is off to a great start as I've just released my first 26 set of digitally formatted character line art sets to match the clipart collections now available through Creative Market .  So what are some ways you can use line art?  I'll begin by telling you that I've always considered line art as the "Keys to the Creative Kingdom"!  From my fabric designing, crafting patterns, storybook illustrations, greeting card designing, painting projects, wall murals and manufactured merchandise, all undertakings required line art to be created as the first step in the creative process. Once you have the line art, Annie Thing is truly Possible! Each 48 image file set comes with 300dpi line art in PNG ready to color cutouts on transparent background, PNG line art only on transparent background, EPS and JPG formats along with your choice of licensing options.  Whether it's for personal projects, print on demand resale merchandise, items to create and sell for your onl

The gifts are wrapped and the house is aglow as we begin the final countdown until Santa arrives with holiday surprises!  Did you know there's Little Elf from Another Shelf ?  This storybook is available in paperback or download the Kindle e-book version and more at Annie Lang's Book Store . 

It's been a very different Christmas season this year without the annual school Christmas plays, office parties and the traditional family gatherings we so look  forward to each and every holiday.  My nephew's wife recently posted an endearing photo of their boys in their holiday jammies, reading my elf book and enjoying this most magical season.  It's truly a heartwarming treasure and a reminder that Christmas really does lie within the heart of every child. The one holiday event I most enjoy are my classroom visits to local elementary schools where we all read " A Little Elf Upon a Shelf ".  Each student gets their own set of "Elf Listening Ears" and when the story is done, we make a fun holiday craft and get our pictures taken by the teacher.  Nothing stirs the Christmas spirit when one is surrounded by hearts that truly believe in the magic!   You can easily make your own set of papercrafted holiday Elf ears ... just click the image and download it

If you've ever wondered how I make my sketches into digital art, just watch this video to see how I do it!    When it come to artwork, I know "There's an App for that!" out there.  Most will take your sketch and instantly render it into line art or finished color art, but let's face it...there's very little challenge in only needing to know how to click a button when it comes to creativity, developing our skills and making something to call our very own. In the upcoming months, I'll have lots more "Let's Draw" character art videos to keep you creatively inspired.  You can subscribe to my YouTube channel so you won't miss a single new video!  You can also subscribe to this BLOG which will also keep you notified of every new release. You can use any of the art you find in my themed Line Art Pattern Books to practice your digital art sketching.  If you have the .pdf edition, simply import the art into your image editing program.  If
