Illustrations Friday:Shades



This is my third submission for Illustration Friday. I seem to like to draw my dog Hamish a lot. Probably because he sits next to me under the table. He's also pretty rad. I tried to put a st. Patricks hat on him today but he didn't like that much.

Still struggling with scanning quality! The dots are paint samples that I stole and cut up. Just thought I'd experiment a little.

Hope you're having a swell day and thanks for looking!

Character Illustrations








Heavily influenced by Disney obviously.
I don't like how they came out. I think I need to be more careful with balance and composition. The scanning quality is also horrible. I also dislike the added text. However, I do like the borders which I think I'll continue playing around with.

They were pretty fun to draw! The brought back many childhood memories. I was pretty fond of The Little Mermaid (and still am- I found an old video at an op shop for 20 cents...Score!)

Who was your favourite Disney character?

Mean cat

My cat, Tina gives me mean looks all the time. I imagine this is what she's trying to tell me.

Illustration Friday: Intention





"Her intentions were good but she still made a mess of things."

This idea came to me on Saturday as I was baking for a tea party I was to have with friends. The kitchen was a total wreck and I somehow managed to burn the first batch of cakes! I do think the mess was half the fun... Although maybe not when I had to clean it all up a day later. (Yes, a day later. I put these things off)

Watercolour/gouache and wall paper.

This is my second submission for IF. I decided to play around with collage. I scanned the separate pieces so I can mess around with the composition/sizing when I have a capable computer.

Thanks a heap for looking!

Good morning!

I wasn't sure whether or not to add whiskers. I decided against it but I think I should have.

Today I'm off into the big city to go to the art galleries and state library. I'm hoping I find some nice inspiration and some macarons.
