Bathing

Here's the rough I've done for the illustration. I'm going to refine the shape and spacing of the ripples for the coloured final.

Ugly bug

Here's an ugly bug I drew in pen and ink. It was tedious, but an interesting experiment. I think I could have pushed the black more, but I didn't think it was worth the effort.

Wet Cat

Haven't posted lately because life has just been crazy busy! Here's something that I did earlier this year.

Bird Wash

Here's another variation of the same bird. I'm not sure which one I like better - this one or the last one. I like this one because of its softness and I think it will be easier to scale to a larger size. The last one is perhaps more striking because of its hard shapes. What do you guys think?

Splatter birds

This bird was fun because I enjoyed splattering the paint on it. It's a bit uncontrolled so it's interesting (and a bit worrying) to see where the paint decides to go.

Blue Bird

I’m sticking to the bird theme.  I’m not satisfied with this one, so I think I’ll give it another try later.

Another bird

Aylw was totally right in his comment on my last post - birds are cute and cartoonish. I could have picked a less cute subject, but I like pretty things. To be more specific, I like cute and fat things, so birds fit nicely into those criteria. The picture below is another attempt at being a little less cute. I think I at least succeeded in being less cartoonish than the previous post.
