Illustration Friday:Reflect

A quick doodle with ink and watercolor pencils.

Illustration Friday: Together

I did this illo back in August. It illustrates very well the topic of this week Together but it was not  done with that topic in mind. Every time I had the urge to draw and did not have any idea I would do an illustration about the joys of summer. So one of the joys of summer is to pick up your own apples straight from the tree. You and your little sister, together.

Illustration Friday:Sweet

This week's topic for Illustration Friday: Sweet. What could be sweeter than a reading little girl and bunnies in the grass!

Illustration Friday:WILD-2

This is my second submission for this week's topic WILD.The idea is Wild Imagination.The media is again my favourite one-watercolor pencils.

Illustation Friday:Eye Glasses

This week's topic is Eye Glasses.There is no much room for imagination there.Everybody who already submitted their illustrations drew or painted people or animals with glasses.Oh,well, I should always remind myself that the most important thing is to create instead of complaining.It took me awhile to decide what to draw.I closed my eyes and the first idea came to me was a lady from the 50-ties.The big and fancy eye glasses with weird shapes were very fashionable at that time.So I looked up for an image on Google to use as a reference picture.I used ink and watercolor pencils.The paper was not very ink pen friendly and that's why my drawing is kind of rough at the edges.

The first three

These three illustrations were the first three for 2013.I did not write any New Year's resolutions but I hope to find more time to draw this year.Whenever I can.Even for 5 minutes.With whatever medium I can find available at the moment.Doing good so far.
I could not participate in the last week challenge of Illustration Friday with the theme: STORM.I drew the illo but did not have the energy to upload it.I have been struggling with my cold for almost a couple of weeks already and still haven't overcome it.It appeared to be a tough one but it is high time to start feeling better.

Just for fun

This is another image from last weekend.After sketching for a couple of hours from life i felt like doing something else using some imagination.I called it "A plump princess or a happy birthday to you."I wanted the image to be as flat as possible.I used ink pen ,watercolor pencils and stamps.

Four sketches from the last weekend

Last Saturday my husband took my daughter fishing and I had some more ME time.I used it sketching from life in our back yard.I did not take long to find an interesting subject matter.When I was done with one thing I just had to turn my chair around and start to paint a another one.I had been trying to do that for several weekends but every time something would happen and would stop me from doing that.I used my favourite watercolor pencils Faber Castell and ink pen Pilot.
