Illustration Friday-Visitors 3

This is my third installment in this series, trying to finish telling a story. I'm posting all three, but the bottom one is the new, third entry, but it's the last one in the story. So from top to bottom I'm trying to tell a little visual story. Please let me know what you think!

The top image is my second entry. The bottom image I posted already, but put it again here for your convenience. Making your life easier is what my life is all about.

For both images I photographed by chubby mitts and then drew the hand lines in Freehand. I painted a cracked paint texture (many thanks to Claudine Helmuth!) with real paint, and then I pulled everything together in Photoshop.

Compliments make my day! Constructive criticism makes me a better illustrator. Both are welcome!

This is my entry for IF's "visitors" topic. Photographed my hand, painted a cracked paint texture, drew all the shapes in Freehand, and combined everything in Photoshop! Voila! I will be doing a companion piece to go along with it, in a day or two.

Here's to many happy visitors!

Simpson's Avatar

I just made my own Simpson's avatar. It's free, easy and fun. If you want to make your own, go to the Simpsons Movie site and click on the Make Avatar button.

Illustration Friday-Captain

This is my entry for IF's "captain" topic. I was less than inspired by the word, but wanted to make a companion piece to "might' which was posted long ago, and reposted again here for your convenience. (I live to make your life easier.) I certainly like the idea of this piece, but it's been a weird week, and I just wanted to get this done. What do you think? Did I completely waste my time?

And for Pete's sake, if you haven't clicked on my profile and then on "mynewphotoblog" and seen my photos of humpback whales doing "bubble net feeding", do it now!!! I mean it.

Illustration Friday-Emergency 2

I slightly revised my first "emergency" illustration and made a second one to go with it.

The object in my hand is roll of duct tape, by the way.

What do you think???

Also, click on my profile, and then find my photoblog for some pictures of Orcas and Humpbacks from my Alaskan cruise. There are some photos of Humpbacks doing "bubble net feeding", which was incredible to see firsthand.

This is my entry for IF's "emergency" topic. Photographed my hand with duct tape, then drew the lines and shapes in Freehand. I then painted a background on the inside of a grocery bag. I combined everything in Photoshop! Duct tape is wonderful stuff for many of life's emergencies.

I should be able to post regularly now I'm done feeding hundreds of hungry boyscouts for the summer. More on that later, if you're interested.

I look forward to visiting your IF entries this next week, as I now have more time...
