Illustration Friday: Star

Pencil sketch finished digitally in Adobe Draw

Illustration Friday: Ink

5 minute pencil doodle made for IF. I'm rusty :-(

Illustration Friday: Contagious

Illustration Friday: Hierarchy

My upcoming show is approaching way too fast and I'm racing against the clock to finish things up, so I didn't have time to make something new for IF this week. I think this one fits the theme nicely though; no doubt this little girl knows her place in the pecking order.

VF: Mon expo arrive à grands pas et je ne suis pas vraiment en avance sur ce qu'il me reste à faire; alors excusez m'sieurs dames, cette semaine je ressors un vieux machin du placard à barbouille au lieu d'en faire un tout neuf. Je pense qu'il ne colle pas mal au thème; aucune ambiguité question hiérarchie, mon petit personnage sait très exactement où elle se place.

Illustration Friday: Theater

This has to be the fastest I've whipped up an illustration in a long time! I actually scribbled a little pencil doodle while on hold with tech support this afternoon, then I scanned it in and painted it in Photoshop after dinner. I'm still pretty new to digital painting and can't imagine going 100% digital, but it's fun to try and I think it's growing on me.

Illustration Friday: Talisman

Pink bunny or lucky underwear: never go to a job interview without your talisman.

Illustration Friday: Poise

I don't think it shows too much, but I'm trying my hand at slightly different things... I wanted to try and paint faster and a bit more spontaneously than usual, so I drew this one directly on illustration board with acrylic, then did a bit of digital doodling. Usually I sketch and plan meticulously, and hardly do anything other than trim in Photoshop.I think I'll continue working on it, add more highlights on the face, and maybe redo the background to make the pattern stand out some more.

Anyway, I'm not sure if she's poised or just uncomfortable :)

Illustration Friday: Subtract

I made this for I.F.. I think I'll probably rework it, I'm not so happy about the contrasts; especially the stuffed animal's face, which blends too much in the background.

V.F.: Je viens de faire ça pour Illustration Friday, je suis à moitié contente du truc; les contrastes ne sont pas formidables, en particulier le visage de la peluche qui ne se détache pas bien du fond.

Illustration Friday: Flawed

Reginald almost looked like a regular little boy.
There was one small flaw, but the neighbors were far too polite to comment on it.

Illustration Friday: Pale

This is another of the series I made for a show themed after the 7 deadly sins.
This one was sloth; there's definitely some unhealthy pallor going on here...

Illustration Friday: Contained

Belated happy new year to IF' ers... Here's my take on "contained" (or not, as the case may be)

Illustration Friday: Voices

The voices told me to do it. Seriously.

Illustration Friday: Similar

These 2 little guys look somewhat similar, but it doesn't mean that their tastes are...

Illustration Friday: Balloon

Illustration Friday: Wise

It's probably wise of him not to get any closer...

Illustration Friday: Vacant

This poor little guy is very sweet but not the sharpest tool in the shed... no matter how much he waters it, it's unlikely this nail will grow bigger...

Illustration Friday: Sugary

I painted this little guy for an upcoming show themed after sins and virtues. He embodies gluttony :)

Illustration Friday: Memories

Memories are all you can take with you when life forces you to move on.

Illustration Friday: Geeky

I haven't posted in a long time! Here's a little doodle I did a while back for my ilk - bookworms and lit geeks that you'll find curled up in the shade when everyone else is playing in the sun :)

Illustration Friday: Remember

Remembering is not necessarily always a good thing - sometimes letting go of the past can be liberating and allow you to move on.
