Things that are round....

This week's Illustration Friday topic is round.

Here are some things that are round:

And here are some things that aren't:

Mirror mirror on the wall...

This week's Illustration Friday topic is vanity.

The execution of my idea isn't as good as I had hoped, so I might try and redraw this at some point. I also lose a lot of detail in the scanning - so I either need to get a better way of scanning (rather than the work photocopier) or use darker pencil work so I don't have to level it up so much in Photoshop.

This week's Illustration Friday topic is silent

Mouthless robot is sad.

Robot love... awwww....

Some stuff I have done

Here's some random sketches I've done lately, just for the fun of it.

A quietly hopeful bear:

 

A mellon-collie cephalapod:

 

 And the illustration I did for my husband for our first anniversary:

Stripey bear

Finally got off my butt to do another quick Illustration Friday topic: stripes

Couldn't think of anything else, so it's a bear! That looks a bit like a dog... it's a 'dogbear'!

A not-so-scary wolf spider

I've missed a couple of weeks from Illustration Friday due to being ill, but I'm back this week with a vengeance! This week's topic was scary - presumably in honour of Halloween - so I decided to draw a spider.

However, I think you'll agree that mine is more cute than scary!



He needs a caption - something like: Where's MY cookie?

Remote controlled telepathic fish juggler

Just a little something I sketched in my lunch break today. This is my first attempt at an Illustration Friday topic: contraption.

Another new blog...

Due to my general busyness (& slackness!), I am still yet to either rework my design portfolio website or to get my creative folio website off the ground.

But, I have been managing to spend some time being crafty of late, and have recently been revisiting my love for sketching. There's been a few robot and creatures so far, and I am hoping to keep expanding my sketching skills with LOT more practice. I've been uploading pics to Instagram in the short term:

A "not at all scary Wampa" (http://instagr.am/p/OniPO/?ref=nf)

"I haz a petz" (http://instagr.am/p/Olsbv/?ref=nf)

Taking advice from a good friend at work, I have signed up for the 'Illustration Friday' emails and am hoping to post my drawings for the subjects here on this blog. For those of you who don't know what Illustration Friday is, check this link: http://illustrationfriday.com/

Looks good, yeah?

So, keep tuned for some sketchy craziness coming in the near future - I might even get around to updating the design of this blog to incorporate original sketches one day... lol

'til next time!
