Illustration Friday: I Spy



"I spy a clue Watson!"
This is just a little pencil
drawing that I finished in
Painter.

Illustration Friday: TOTAL



This little bunny tripped over his garden hoe and spilled his basket of carrots everywhere. Can you help him pick them up by counting them? There should be a total of 12 carrots.


It was kind of a tough topic this week. I racked my brain most of the weekend trying to think of something. About the only thing I could come up with was what might be a sample page from a counting book.

Again, I did this in Painter. I used mostly the charcoal, conte & chalk brushes.

Illustration Friday: WIRED

Not everyone is as happy to get braces but this little guy is glad to have his teeth wired. He knows he will need good choppers to cut down trees and work at the dam when he gets older.

This is just a quick little spot sketch I did and painted in Painter with the 'simple water' brush and conte brushes.

I apologize to everyone that has tried to view my entry this week and it wasn't there. I am not sure what is wrong. It is there one time and gone the next.

Illustration Friday: HIDE



I'm sure we can all remember doing something
wrong when we were kids and thinking if you
could hide long enough it would go away.

Don't worry that was an old lamp...Momma
Skunk wasn't too mad.

I tried something a little different this week.
I wanted to get more of a classic style. I did a
pencil drawing and used mostly the 'new simple
water' brush in Painter for the color.
