Illustration Friday : Crooked

I'm still on my ink blob phase inspired by Gabrielle Rose (draw, Gabby, draw! and Gabcollab) - she made a video on how to make paint blobs! Urh, disarmingly simple, but I've always been afraid to put so much water on my paper so this gave me the courage to try something new!
Anyways, I wished my bonsai had its own little caretaker...

Illustration Friday: Tall

"He wore a tall pointed blue hat, a long grey cloak, and a silver scarf. He had a long white beard, and bushy eyebrows that stuck out beyond the brim of his hat" - Gandalf from Lord of the Rings.

Illustration Friday : Scattered/1000 drawings entry

I thought I would fall off the IF wagon again this week, but this week's word happily coincided with something I was working on for Night of 1000 Drawings (an arty charity initiative). So a bit of a cheat this week. You may recognize my owl from a previous journal doodle and I've been itching to make a more refined version. I was very inspired by Alberto Cerriteno's illustration style.

So expect strong likelihood of scattered strawberry showers this afternoon ^_^

Illustration Friday : Contraption

I have been strangely not busy but very preoccupied for the past week. Here is my Illustration Friday offering, I tried to really focus on lighting and atmosphere, I usually struggle with backgrounds and environments, so its something I want to consider more.

For this week's word "contraption" - I imagined these woolly forest creatures investigating a lamp that some camper left behind, maybe it'll change their lives forever, because they'll no longer be creepy eyes in the dark anymore ^_^

Illustration Friday: Boundaries

Boundaries made me think of primary school when the girls and boys had to share a desk and how we'd divide our desk down the middle and neither must cross into the other's half of the desk...I think I was super anal about elbow space or something.

Illustration Friday : Mysterious

Yay I made it this week! Coloured pencils with some help from photoshop :)

Belated Illustration Friday : Disguise

Ok I may have fallen off the IF train abit... I tried something more abstract and designy this time :)

Illustration Friday : Swell

A drawing I made a few years back when I was in my first year university. I thought it fitted this week's topic well. This was inspired by "Play crack the sky" by Brand New - there's a part of the song where he sings about "100 foot faces of God's good ocean gone wrong..." Its a beautiful song, have a listen here.

Illustration Friday : Imperfect

Ike has a manufacturer's fault, as a bird holder he is absolutely useless as some one neglected to install a gate for his cage head, but he's happier than any robot will ever be.

Coloured pencils (which I haven't used in so long!) and pen.

Illustration Friday : Obsession

Aah the noble guinea pig, the only animal to have no other talents except to be choke your face cute. I have 3 and like a piggy mom of sorts, I worry irrationally about them : what if the kitchen somehow catches on fire and they cant get out? What if they accidentally eat bugs? What if an eagle (note: a eagle, not anything more common place like a cat or a rat...) swoops down and carries one of them away when I'm not looking? And all the while they are just getting fat...which I worry about too, while stuffing their faces with food (what can you do? their faces are always hungry!)

Pen and watercolour with some editing in photoshop. Please click on image for larger view.

Illustartion friday : Prennial

Fallen abit behind because of my holiday, here's a quick illustration of this week's word - I'm trying to be bolder with my watercolours...

Illustration Friday: Stay

You are no less loved, I'm sorry.

Illustration friday: Remedy

In a bid to kick start a daily drawing habit, I'm participating in Illustration Friday.
