IF: Shiny

Hello all!

I've been keeping busy - preschool graduation is around the corner, and a few top secret work projects on the go.

This week's Illustration Friday topic is "Shiny". I started this character to be part of a larger piece, but since the subject matter suited the IF topic, I thought I'd go ahead and upload what I had.  Consider it a work in progress.  :)

Happy Father's Day on Sunday!

IF: Sight

Hi, all!  My current project is in vector format, which I am really enjoying.  Since I can't show you that work just yet, I thought I'd do this week's Illustration Friday topic in vector as well.  Unlike painting in the traditional sense, vector painting creates images by computing curves and geometric shapes.  (It takes me back to days when I studied 3D modeling.  Kind of.) 

This week's topic is "Sight," so I thought I'd do a little owl character.  Hoot hoot!  Have a great week!

Quick check-in!

Long time no blog!  How is everyone?

Unfortunately, I have been sidelined with a back injury that worsens when I sit for long periods of time.  It has been quite painful and so I have been resting as much as possible when I don't have to work or chase after my kids.

I've set up a standing desk and have been able to sketch more in the past week.  The above is a sketch for this week's Illustration Friday topic, "Jump".  Please bear with me and I will post more content soon!  Wishing you well!  :)

Ink for IF: Popularity

Hi folks! My schedule is crazy these days - juggling work projects, packing lunches for preschool, trying to fit a run in somewhere, and my baby still won't sleep through the night! So, I got to the inking phase for this week's Illustration Friday theme, but am very sure it won't be painted in time. I want to do this one in acrylic when I have a spare minute!

Hope all is well in happy drawing land! Until next time!

Sketch for IF: Suspense

I probably won't finish this by next Friday, but here is my sketch for this week's Illustration Friday, "Suspense".

IF: Forward

I'm still playing around with ink & acrylics. This technique keeps me loose, which I love. Here's my painting for this week's Illustration Friday:

Until next time!

IF: Prepare

I finished painting this one.  In case you missed it, the sketch is here.  Enjoy!
