Grow - Illustration Friday

You see evidence of it on the outside,
but it's happening on the inside
and in the space between.

The Blues - Illustration Friday

You would not fully know what it means to feel joy if you have not felt the opposite of joy. If you are sad, do not suppress it. Feel sad for as long as you need to so that you can move through it, let it go, and are able to feel joy again.

peace.

My second Illustration Friday. I am thrilled to be here. (click to see larger image)

A magical experience. I drew the girl reading a book then went to the bookshelf to pick some interesting text. I pulled "The Tin Woodman of Oz" - a book I have never read. When I opened to a random page, I started reading about Jinjur who can "paint anything."

Visitors - Illustration Friday

Revised.
I just added some black line. When I logged on to add my revision, I noticed a compliment I received about the "delicate work." Ironic. Perhaps I shouldn't have touched it. It was sort of difficult to draw a smooth line on rough cold press watercolor paper. And it felt a little backward. I'm assuming illustrators typically draw a clean black line, then add a watercolor wash?
This is all a learning experience for me.



My first Illustration Friday. Actually, my first attempt at illustrating anything. I am not satisfied, but I did not spend too much time on this ... so not too bad? I know I could use some darker darks, but it's missing something else, too. I don't know what? IF is something I've been wanting to do for a long time, and now I've started. Looking forward to next week's topic.

When I showed it to Eleanor she said "There were three bunnies in our garden?" I said "Actually, there are five bunnies in this picture, but I didn't see any bunnies. I just painted our garden and added the bunnies in myself." The best part of creating art!
