I bought some black ink this week and am about to try my hand at pen and ink. When Scott was about three and Jessie one we made a pirate ship out of the washing baskets, added a flag (a curtain rod box) and dressed up as pirates. They looked something like this.
Just a little happy character for this weeks illustration.
Here are the children all out roller blading on the week-end. The sketch that I started with.
I am working on some new cartoon drawings. Isn’t it amazing what a little shading can do? I hope they don’t crash? I wonder where they’re all heading? It must be an emergency.
A snap of a beautifully decorated window in the city of Melbourne. We had an afternoon at Melbourne Zoo and Chloe who makes it into quite a few of my illustrations had such fun pushing our friend’s son around.
This is a first for me, an illustration done mainly in photoshop. I am just learning how to add textures in this program so feel free to post any tips.
Above are some of the animals that feature on a map I have been working on this week. And yes below is part of my Noah’s Ark poster (Slowly I am re-drawing it, without the black outlines). Have a great week-end!
No outlines in this illustration, some paper, some textures and even some hand-painting if you look carefully. We keep looking in petshop windows at the puppies, I don’t know how long we can resist. Check out the amazing work of Barbara Spurll.
I saw a photo of a big basket of fruit and used it as a starting point for this illustration and had some fun making the patterns to colour the children’s clothes.
I went to my course and really enjoyed it, before I knew it two and a half hours had gone. This illustration was in response to one of the exercises we did. “One good meal should be enough for any dog.”
