IF: Satellite

Here is my picture for satellite. I thought I'd try something a little different this time and attempt a photoshop painting. I'm quite happy with how Kong turned out but not so sure about the plane in the foreground. I wanted to keep it sketchy and get energy into the picture but I think it might have been better if I was better at rendering things properly. Something to work on in the future.

Also I tried to make it look like Kong was swiping his arm but I'm not sure it comes across.

IF: paisley

This is my Illustration Friday submission for "paisley". I was thinking of ideas for what to do and when I looked at some paisley designs I thought to myself, "They look like amebas/bacteria things", so that is what I did.

Ripple

This is my Illustration Friday Installment for Ripple. It's not very good. I've not spent much time on it because I want to concentrate on my writing this week instead. However I felt it was important to at least attempt something. So I drew a grumpy Gnome who is tried of fishing. I tried to do it in a watercolour type style.

Trail

For this weeks Illustration friday image I wasn't sure it was going to work as it's a very long illustration. I was hoping that the browser would show the whole thing and let you zoom in but it only lets you zoom in a little. Oh well, worth a try.

The word was trail so here is the story behind it, Hansel and Gretel are leaving a trail of breadcrumbs which are being eaten by Red Riding Hood. Red is leaving a scent trail which is being followed by the wolf. The wolf is leaving a paw print trail which is being followed by the woodcutter.

Update: I decided to cut up the picture and add it this way as well so people could see it better.

Early

This is my second week on the Illustration Friday drawings. The topic was "Early" so I kept going further back in time until I thought of an idea I could run with. I used Illustrator this time just because I don't have much experience and need an excuse to work with it more. I'm really happy with this one.

Equipment

For my second drawing I've drawn a boy playing in a box. It all started because of this site: http://illustrationfriday.com/index.php with the topic "equipment".
The story behind this picture is that the boy has a box which is his equipment and can be anything he wants it to be and right now it's a plane.

Ok this is just a quick rhino I drew because I wanted to add something the same day I created the blog. I'll probably work into it some more and then actually recreate it in Illustrator just to see how it looks.
