Day 74: The Ant and the Grasshopper

anI've worked on this over the past couple of days. I don't really have the computer power to finish this yet, but this is the basic idea for another bug-type illustration. The final will change from this, but this will give you a basic idea of what I'm working on.

Day 23: A Shoe is a Shoe

My great achievement for today is creating a shoe! More stuff to come later.

Day 18.5 Catching up

Here is the Lady Bug Illustration that I just finished inking. I want to post the Spider & Fly illustration, but I'm having trouble opening it.

Annnd really late are my sketches. It wasn't so much that I didn't have them done as it was that I didn't have them all in the computer.

On the upper right you'll see a bird. I am now running out of my drawing paper so he got stuck being drawn over an old drawing. And in the bottom right... I'm not sure what the penguin is going to do with my futon, but I guess some things are better left unexplored. I still have a ways to go to be caught up completely, but I'm getting there!

Day 13ish: The Egyptian Stork

It just seems like it's been a crazy week this week. Honestly, every week is crazy for me, but I want to see this through despite the crazy. I didn't get a lot of time to work today so I'll show a drawing that I did get to a reasonable stage:

I'm getting a little worried right now because my computer is an ancient being. I bought it back in 2003. It's still chugging along. I'm glad I went for some extra features then, because now I can just barely get by. My computer is really important for what I'm doing, so it really stinks when I have to spend a whole day just getting it to run right. We may get another computer soon depending how my husband's bonus looks. I'm going to go cross my fingers and look for 4-leaf clovers.

Day 12: Line Art

I'm working on catching up right now. I've been doing sketches but not showing them online. I'll try to get a couple up in the next couple of days. My biggest problem is I started a little late on this illustration, so I'm a little behind. Thursday will be my day to get all caught up! Anyways I'm planning on changing this, but this is what I have so far:

Next up is editing the line work and then the background. Whew, got this in before midnight, ha!

Edit: Oh yeah, he doesn't have wings... I haven't decided how to do them quite yet.
