Book Sail

This doodle is supposed to be me (well maybe a little skinnier, but its artistic freedom right?) at the Farmer's Market this last weekend. It was soo windy, it nearly took our tent thingy! It just would not stop! The gale lasted pretty much the entire market. I gotta say though, I had very cute "wind-swept" hair after.

Oh and this is my first official digital painting, after my first lesson with Hollie. Thanks! I think you'll be seeing more of these after I have some more lessons.

Windy ~ Illustration Friday

I painted my drawing with acrylic washes. The drawing is only about 6x4. I photographed it, but as usual it desaturated the painting, so I had to touch it up a bit in photoshop. I love working traditionally, getting my "hand dirty." Anyway... Enjoy!!

Windy Process ~ Illustration Friday

I've just learned about Illustration Friday.com from some friends. I really think its an awesome idea. This is for the last topic, the next is called "intricate." I started with a pen drawing on illustration board.

I took a quick picture of it (thus the blurriness) and then did some color comps. in photo shop.






Mike liked the orange and blue, and so do I, but it is a color combination I use often. So I wanted to try something new.I finally went with the green and brunette because I don't think brunette little girls are represented enough. It seems to be mostly little blond girls. Don't get me wrong I was a blond little girl myself. I just wasn't in the mood.









I like the purple and bluish/black hair. It reminds me of "Coraline."
