The Lady Bug Finished

Here is my ladybug illustration finally finished. I want to keep working on it, but a little voice inside of me is telling me to move on to bigger and better drawings. I hope you like it.

Day 114: A New Car!

I've never been too picky about my cars. I just want them bright, shiny and something that can go really fast. Now that I'm an adult I'm supposed to add in things like: has seat belts, power steering and wont break down every few months. Boring! I should be able to pick out cars like I pick out clothes... buy everything that looks good on me. I know I could fit this car buying into my budget. I'll just cut out the food bill (husbands are okay with not eating,
 right?).

Day 113: Pull Toys

I had a terrible day yesterday. Well not terrible, but terrible for posting. I was just tired and run down all day. I did work on some art, but when I'm tired I have trouble doing much of anything. Know what I mean? In any case I'm coming back today in full force. Two pull toys for your enjoyment here. I never had any quite like these as a kid, but I remember loving pull toys.

Which do you prefer? I love the shape of the puppy, but the colours of the ducky. I think if I were a kid I may have picked out the puppy as a toy because it was a more familiar shape.

Just a heads up for next week. I will probably not be able to post every day. The plan is to visit my nan-in-law Wed. and go a wedding Fri. Of course I need to go out and get a gift yet for the wedding (eep don't tell the bride or groom). Now I have to go figure out what I'm going to draw tomorrow!

Day 111.5: Domo Arigato

I was planning on shading Mr. Robot here, but I've just been caught up in so many things today. So instead of putting off the post until the morning I'm posting him now. Enjoy!

Day 110: Bring on the Toys!

Lately I've been trying to figure out what I should be drawing while I'm catching up with these illustrations. Finally, today I have my answer: TOYS! I know it's a silly thing, but I work better if I have a theme of something to work on. Especially a theme that I know I can continually create. Also, these toy images will be good because some of them may end up in future illustrations. Yes I'm being overly excited like this, but I've had too much coffee today and I'm in a good mood!

The first toy drawing is a top. I was going to go in and shade it, but I like how it looks now. Not sure yet what I'm going to do for tomorrow, but I have lots of ideas.

Day 109.5: Angel Fish

I love the colours of the Angelfish. They are so bright and beautiful. If I had a big aquarium it would be filled with these little guys.

I created a new page on Facebook mostly for my WIP. Not a lot of action there yet, but take a look if you're interested: http://bit.ly/cRLa4t. If you prefer Myspace you can find me here: http://www.myspace.com/daniduckart. Right now I prefer Facebook, because most of the people I know are there. If I get to know a lot more people on Myspace I'll be sure to spend time there, too.

Day 108: An Annoying Cat

It may seem at first glance that I did almost no work today for my blog. Most of my work has been done on the illustrations I need to catch up with. I was about to work on a drawing when my cat jumped on my lap (she rarely jumps on my lap). So for the past 10-15 minutes she's been rolling around purring on my lap (probably wants something). I decided to do a quick drawing of her. She absolutely refused to stay still and now I'm covered in her fur. She's so annoying sometimes, but I love her.

It's been a while since I've posted any group sketches so here are the sketches from weeks 12-14:

Hopefully I'll be able to post the Ladybug final Illustration soon. The Ant and the Grasshopper, and the Spider and the Fly are underway as well.
