I can vaguely remember Pepe le Pew who was smitten by a black cat with a white paint stripe on it’s back. I have to admit I have never seen a skunk in real life so I checked out a few photos of them and came up with this drawing.
I think this skunk in particular looks smitten.
These guys are great! So cute. Do you draw with Illustrator? I ask because your lines are so clean and I haven’t been able to achieve that freehand drawing in Painter. Your funny skunky characters are just adorable.
Jana all my computer drawings are done in illustrator (as I don’t know how to use the other programs). I will hand draw the picture first and then scan the picture into illustrator and work from that. The brush stroke you see here is from the artistic range.
wauw, I love them too!!
Just another question about the way u work…; do you use the pencil-tool in Illustrator? Or is it all done with the pen-tool?
Very cute their expressions are adorable.
Very cute and sweet! great illo-
Wendy it is the pencil tool.
Thanks for answering. I’ve got to learn illustrator or figure out whether Painter will do Illustratorish kinds of work.
We used to have skunks all the time in our yard at night. They would come to find grubs in the lawn. The morning would show their industrious labor of the night before with chunks of grass torn up to expose their midnight meals. One night we were surprised to see a momma skunk with about 9 babies all clinging to her back as she made her way through the woods to our lawn. Your skunks are wonderful and look as though you actually had seen one….or two.
Lovely! I like the way you’ve coloured it too, very solid and lively!
ahhh pepe la pew a skunk after my own heart. well not sure bout that but loved the cartoon as a kid. nice tribute to a to a well deserving skunk
Yeah! These little fellas really look lively and smitten! Great job!
Don’t know what I do wrong…whenever I use Illustrator, the sketch always comes out very technical :-/
These are cute! Also nice that you tell your secrets about “how you make it”….once I learned that one must never ask a good cook how he makes his meals;-)
I guess the secret of your art is that YOU make them.
