Illustration Friday: Wild

It's been so long, I am a little rough. Wild is a good topic to dive back into illustrating :)




If you can't read the writing, it says:

 "Every April, on her birthday, George liked to pick wildflowers for his wife."

Illustration Friday: Entangled

Wow, it's been ages!
A while ago I got this book:


Although I enjoyed browsing it, I haven't got to use it, until today. Well, I didn't exactly use it, other than as a clipboard, but I certainly was inspired by it:


Not the most scary mythological beast, I know. But this goat-serpent creature just saw the hay stacks, and in its excitement got all entangled as it fell from wherever it is mythological beasts sit.

Wedding Card in Color

I ended up coloring the card myself. You can tell I have absolutely no experience in water colors...


At least it looks a lot more colorful.

Toby's Wedding Card

Recently I only draw when I feel I have to... Shame, I know. But a really good excuse came up in the form of an office-mate wedding. Even though we (me and the other office-mates) hardly know her, I thought it would be nice to give her little gift (and thus share the cost). Isn't it obvious that I should also make her a card?
She did her PhD on sharks, and her new husband (they're probably either already married, or in the process of getting married as I type) worked on coral reef fishes. Hence the theme:


What do you think of the expression on the fishes' faces? :)
By the way, the inside reads: "...but you can do it! Congratulations, Toby and Jeff!"


I'm quite amazed it came out so well, to tell the truth. I find it incredible that I had such patience for all that detail. As you can tell, I'm shamelessly proud of myself :)

Anna said she'd bring water colors on Monday. I think water colors will look better than markers or colored pencils, so I'm going to let her paint it. I will try not to forget the camera, so I can post a colored version of the card later.

Illustration Friday: Wrapped


Chicken Burrito




This is NOT how Harvey planned to spend the evening... :(

(Vegetarian Month is coming soon!)

Illustration Friday: Impatience

Rongo couldn't wait to get home. His wife baked a delicious strawberry-mint cake for his birthday.


This is my first Illustration Friday drawing where the idea followed the doodle. That's probably why it's also different from my usual style. I like it.

Illustration Friday: Modify

Sheldon decided to add an attic, so he can store all of his books (he likes to relax and read in the attic, as well).



You can probably tell I have to modify my own house... Such a sloppy illustration...
