*The Baby's got blue eye's.. Illustration on the topic of PRIZE.

The Eye monster doesn't own a set of blue eye's, so.. Personally, I think 

the baby as a means of escape, he looks trouble!! :)

Original drawing, before my decision to digitally colour the work

rather than paint it.. It's a time issue.

Illustration Friday topic this week - Mermaid. This is drawn and 

painted in Gouache designer paint. A4.

Playing with paint, setting out the scene.

After designing my mermaid - traced her and turtle on to the illustration

Sketching out the mermaid sitting on a turtle.. Using tracing paper.

Started painting, adding bubbles and a starfish to the mix too.

the illustration is coming along

Original sketchbook ideas/colour sampler for the piece.

Illustration *Evil Snail for: Illustration Friday topic; VILLAIN. Unfortunately

the piece is larger than A4 which is my scanner limit, so had to blend to half's the 

best I could...However, the image is all there regardless. Paint/Gouache   

Un-cropped A4 scan without full background.

Photo of artwork on watercolour paper on the desk during painting.

Background before Snail.. Loads of watery paint and blowing :)

Illustration for - Illustration Friday topic: OLD. Here you see painted in 

gouache, the oldest (only surviving) last Dodo on Earth. Recently discovered

fast asleep in a burrow on the island of Mauritius. Old Barrie.

During the painting process. Very enjoyable fun :)

An illustration based on the title; WORK. As you can see, it's a cloudy rainy

bus stop scene.. What is the reality is this: Monday morning and these commuters

are not at all happy, especially one in particular! Can you spot him?  

Original sketch ready to start painting.

Painting the scene in Gouache paint, Because that's what I use :)

A beautiful example of one of my friend: Karen's Sock Monkey's.

And another fine example of Karen's talent. Fabulous Monkey's :)

 

Using myself as a model.. :)

 

Quick drawing inside a friends birthday card.

 

Using Watercolour pencils - I indeed added colour. My friend is a super chap,

who would do anything for anyone. He loves life so much (Having suffered

much pain in his life) and never stops in his creativity. For me, this

represents everything he is - Adventurous, a risk taker, and sometimes "a bit of

a dipstick." But a warm soul - who I'm sure would survive even this!! :)
