Illustration Friday-I Spy

This is my entry for IF's topic "I Spy". Created today, Tuesday, specifically for the challenge. This one, plus the last two entries are becoming a series.

Thanks so much for the many great comments last week! It's awesome to receive them, and much appreciated!

This is one is done is the same style, which is new for me. After I conceive my idea, I create a quickish vector drawing in Freehand, then I print it out and I draw over it onto vellum...drawing quickly and on a somewhat rough desk. This is very unlike me usually. I then paint a background with acrylics and scan the two pieces into Photoshop where I tweak a bit, but actually not much.

These last three drawings I've tried to create a story. More specifically a story designed where you can help fill in the lines, by not telling too much. I think it's working. What about you, do you think it's working?

As always feedback of all sorts is welcome!

This is my entry for Illustration Friday's topic "total". Created today, specifically for this challenge. Drew the shapes with pen and paper, painted a background, and compiled them in Photoshop.

What do you think? Feedback is encouraged!

Also, posted last week's entry for "wired" really late, and it goes along with this one, so check that one out too.

And lastly, I went whale watching a couple weeks ago and saw humpbacks breaching. Got one photo of that, plus some other good shots, so if you're interested to see those, go here...

This is my entry for Illustration Friday's "wired" entry. Created specifically for this challenge. Thought of my concept, drew the shapes with a pen, painted a background and other textures, scanned it all in and combined for this illustration. Getting this posted just under wire on Thursday.

Let me know what you think?

This is my late entry for Illustration Friday's topic, "hide". Couldn't get it done before Friday, but still wanted to share it. Hope that's cool. Created shapes with natural media and compiled them in Photoshop.

What do you think?

Hope to get "wired" done in a day or two.
