Power

Keeping my hand in with this quick post for Illustration Friday.  Here's a little sketch that I think fits the bill for this week's topic, "Power."

 How is it that things are still so busy when its summer??

 Hope you all are fine!  Gotta run!

4 Robots and a Pig

Did up these little sketches today while thinking about this this week's Illustration Friday topic -- "Robots."
I realized that almost everything I am drawn to draw leans more toward the "organic," so taking on some mechanically-inclined things was fun challenge.  I may just depart from birds, pigs, and monsters for a bit and pursue some more of these little robotic beings.  My interest is piqued!
Oh-- and the pig?  He's just there to keep me grounded ;)

Challenging

I have a little challenge going with another illustrator friend of mine. We try to post, daily if possible, a sketch on to Facebook.  It keeps us coming up with new characters and ideas.  It's pretty fun, but it IS challenging to come up with something post-able every day.  I can't say I've made it every day, but -- almost.  Here are a few "recents."  Do you have a favorite?                                                                                                          

                   

All illustrations are in watercolor and pencil on cold press watercolor paper.

Sweet

Getting a jump on Illustration Friday this week.  The topic is "Sweet."  I drew this yesterday for my daily (well, maybe not daily . . . but I try) sketch for Facebook.  I think this little guy might just fit the bill :)

Homage to Rackham

A little something inspired by the great Arthur Rackham (and in stylistic contrast to my previous post):
