Illustration Friday: Robot

I haven't done one of these in a while!  It was pretty spur of the moment because I couldn't think of anything else to draw!

Doodle Art

I've been really into doodle art recently so I thought I would give it a try!  I always doodle when I'm not really sure what to draw or when I'm watching tv and only half-paying attention to what I'm drawing, but this time I decided to try and make a piece out of it.  I definitely love this type of drawing and plan on experimenting more with doodle art in the future!

Happy Birthday Allie

My best friend celebrated her daughter's first birthday this past weekend with a Hawaiian inspired birthday party!  I know turning one is a huge deal, so I wanted to make her something special for the occasion.  Since I got so many compliments last summer when I made my cousin, Gennaro, these hand painted sand pails with toys inside, I decided to make her a girl version of it.  To match the theme of her party, I made sure to include a palm tree, a beach scene, and a hula girl.  After I was done, I wrapped it all up in clear wrap with some black ribbon (black ribbon was the only color I had on hand, but I kinda like the look of it), and attached the card.  Happy birthday Allie!

 

Shel Silverstein

I recently came across one of my old Shel Silverstein books from my childhood, 'Where the Sidewalk Ends'.  He has always been one of my favorite artists, so in honor of him, I did my own Shel Silverstein inspired illustration!  The top quote is a quote I found while browsing on Pinterest.  The background texture is that of my drawing paper.  I had full intentions on getting rid of the background, but after I scanned it into my computer I really kind of liked it!

New Characters!

I've been experimenting with different styles over the past few weeks, and came up with something I really liked!  I've been trying to incorporate my love of fashion into my illustrations so here are some characters I drew!  For some reason the Spice Girls popped into my head after I was all done with them!  I even gave them names!  These are done in color pencil and pen.

 Ombre Girl

Sporty Girl

Pigtail Girl

Bun Girl

Short Haired Girl

Mr. and Mrs. Doodie

I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Doodie!
