Illustration Friday: Germs

Finally! On time, even. I'm trying to get back in the swing of things. I've been sketching in my sketchbook, but not making anything more "finished", not that you could really call this finished, but it's more detailed than the quick sketches I've been doing.

This man has a germ of an idea. It will come to fruition sometime in the near future.

Illustration Friday: Infinite

Yea! I finally posted something for Illustration Friday. I see infinity in the looks of some of these old people. They're not seeing the here and now, but all time, stretching back to original time and into a future they will not ever know.

Of course I didn't mean to drop ink on his forehead, which looks like a hole in his head.....

Maybe now I can get back into the swing of things. I had the stupid new puppy trying to chew bones and chase sticks underneath my legs the whole time I was working on this.

Illustration Friday: Magnify

T
This is magnifying your fears, or your nightmares. Things seem so much worse at 4 in the morning than they do during the light of the day. I actually thought of doing this last week right when the topic came up, and even made a few little preliminary sketches, but I never got around to it. Too busy! But I don't want to stop making pictures, so I'd better get start making pictures regularly again. I'd like to print some off for cards to sell at the Bizarre Bizaar in November. It made me really happy to make this, even though I don't particularly like it. It looks better if you click on it to make it larger.

ILlustration Friday: Caution

It was time to do something a little different. Since school started, and we got a new puppy, it seems I've had no time. I didn't make a picture for last week's topic, and never finished my REAL drawing for "impatient", so it was really time.

This one is a bit too big for the scanner, so it cut off the top and bottom.

Illustration Friday: Impatience

Dogs are the most impatient, but in the best way. There are all those great smells out there, and they can't wait to run and around and investigate them all.

We at my house are impatient too, because we are getting a new puppy. I've been working on a puppy fence (our backyard used to be fenced, but when we built the addition on our house, the fence had to go to get the big equipment in), and the boys are asking me every day, "Has the humane society called yet." We went in last Friday and visited lots of puppies and dogs, and put in an application on one.

I have another dog picture that I started for impatience, but since I had to wait for a wash to dry, I made this little one in the meantime.

There! This makes me a whole lot happier...not so stiff or boring (despite some rather obvious problems, which I'm going to ignore at this point).

Illustration Friday: Modify

I think I need to modify my art-making plans. Two trips, and then a class, and now it's hot, and I haven't been making nearly as much art as I'd like to be. So I need to get some things started.

As far as this picture goes, he is modifying his plans on paper. I think I'd like to start this picture over again.
