Hi everyone! Life has been really busy lately. Luckily, we took a vacation in between. So this post is a late post. I made these really cute digital portraits of my pups and wanted to make sure I shared them to the site. If you are interested in having one commissioned, please send me a message. I can create a digital file in the size you need to get printed. They were so fun to create!
Hey everyone! Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. How can it be almost February? I was asked to make some cards for Valentine’s Day cards recently for some adorable little girls to give out to relatives and neighbors. The only request is they wanted a cute dog on it. Since I love dogs, this was right up my wheel house. I had so much fun sketching and creating this adorable Valentine’s Day pup for them. I hope their recipients love him too! I drew and colored him in using Procreate. Even though I created him for a client, I have added him to my Society6 and Redbubble shops. He is available on prints, masks, phone cases and home decor.

Merry Christmas Eve everyone! This is our first year with our new puppy, Izzy. It’s been a fun chaotic holiday season so far! It definitely feels like having a toddler in the house again. She loves to nibble on the tree, play with Christmas toys and find crumbs of cookies on the floor. But I wouldn’t have it any other way! I love having a dog in our house. I think there will always be! I drew this little illustration of Izzy when I had some down time. I think it captures her little puppy spirit during this Christmas time. Enjoy!
I tried my hand at doing a digitally drawn portrait of my sons. I love the outcome so much that I’m offering these for sale. If you would like a digital portrait illustration, they will be available to order in my Etsy shop. They would make a great personalized Christmas present! Here are some details:
1. Portraits are $30 for 1-2 people and increase $10 for each additional person. If you would like a pet included, please count the pet as an additional “person”.
2. Portraits are illustrated based on the photo you supply me. They will be drawn in the position and outfits shown in the picture. The higher quality the photo, the more details that can be included. Background will be white unless another color is requested.
3. All portraits are digital files. No physical product will be sent to you. All files are formatted so you can print and enlarge the file. You will be able to print as many copies as you’d like!

Hey everyone! I can’t believe Halloween is just a couple of days away. October has flown by so fast! Has it felt that way for anyone else? I saw on my Facebook page a couple of weeks ago the cutest Halloween yard inflatable that featured a cute dachschund and knew that I wanted to create a cute illustration featuring one too. I loved the play on words that they used for “Happy Halloweenie”. So I incorporated that into the illustration. I used Procreate to draw out this cute guy and for the lettering. I really love how it turned out!
Hey everyone! Sorry I haven’t posted anything new in the past couple of weeks. We recently had a new addition to our family. We adopted a cute little pup. Her name is Izzy and she is a bordoodle (border collie/poodle mix). She is so cute and fluffy. We love her to pieces! Having a new puppy is just like having a newborn baby in the household. So it has been hard to get anything done and most of my time has been devoted to our new puppy. I did finally get to squeeze some time in while she was napping and create a portrait of her. I drew it digitally using Procreate and tried to capture her fluffy fur with some brushes. I can’t wait to keep creating new content and hopefully getting into routine with Izzy. Welcome to the Ruth Miller Creative family Izzy! Enjoy!
Hey everyone! I hope everyone had an amazing 4th of July. We were able to sneak away to see family in Wisconsin. We didn’t do too much, but it was a nice change of scenery. While we were there, I was able to work on some drawings during some downtime. We had our pup Moe along with us for our getaway. So he inspired this cute drawing of this flower power pup. I drew this using Procreate and it took me the longest time to figure out what color of background I wanted to use. I finally landed on the color purple. I feel like I do not use it enough. I just uploaded this cute flower power pup to my Society6 and Redbubble shops. It is available on prints and array of products. Enjoy!

Hey everyone! Are you a homebody? I am! I’m not ashamed to admit! On normal circumstances I enjoy being at home, having alone time to my self and like being in my own element. I guess you can say I’m an introverted extrovert. I love being around my friends and family but I tend to hit a wall and need to have space to myself to recharge. Anyone else like that? I will say that with this pandemic, I am getting a little stir crazy. I don’t know how much longer I can manage staying in my house and not start to hate it. I know I am not the only one! I did this quick drawing last night to help keep my sanity. I drew this cute happy pup in his house with the phrase homebody. He is definitely happy to stay home! Keep calm everyone, stay safe and keep being creative!
So how’s everyone doing? Needless to say I know everyone is under extra stress and have had major daily changes. This is week 2 of staying home for our family (minus my husband since he works at a hospital). I feel like we may be getting into a routine, but who knows how our new normal is going to be. I have been trying to stay positive and keep busy creating new artwork. Drawing tends to help me escape reality and by all means I need it right now. Here is one of the drawings that I have created recently. I love poodles and how fluffy they are. I definitely wanted to make it scream Spring, so I decided to include a flower crown. Hopefully everyone stays home, keep healthy and is able to find a new normal. Enjoy!
Today is a special day! It is my youngest son’s 5th birthday. I can’t believe he’s 5! That means I have been not working (except freelance) for 5 years now. It boggles my mind. It feels like he was born just yesterday and now we are headed to Kindergarten round up for next year. How is this possible! Well my youngest son is obsessed with all puppies and kitties, actually animals in general. I wanted to make a cute pup in honor of his birthday. I created this puppy in Procreate and really love how he turned out. Happy Birthday Goober!
