Illustration Friday: Under The Sea

You may remember the boy and cat in the boat... i decided to re-do it using watercolor, as I'm trying to figure out what medium and materials i work best in, and added another character "Under The Sea" for illustration friday. Comments and suggestions on any of my pieces are welcomed and appreciated!

Illustration Friday: Robot

Spring!

The drawing I was working on for "Spring" was frustrating me, so I took a break and made some tissue paper flowers! Still works for illustration friday, right? Maybe I'll finish the drawing later.

Spotlight on Billy - Doodle

Illustration Friday: Tattoo

This is my friend Dina's tattoo that I drew and the tattoo artist put on her lower back. I went with her in a snowstorm to NH to get it done. Dina never drinks soda, so I knew she was in pain as she was sweating profusely and asked me for a ginger ale quick! It was worth it, it came out nice, she gets lots of compliments and always says that I designed it!

I'm working on this sketch for a painting or a series of paintings.

E is for Elephant

pencil, pen and india ink
wonil's elephant (http://secrettoilet.blogspot.com/) inspired me.
I've always loved elephants also. I think they are adorable though they are so huge, and seem to have such gentle souls. One great story, but if you're like me it will make you cry alot, is Modoc: The True Story of the Greatest Elephant That Ever Lived by Ralph Helfer.
