Listen Up? (IllustrationFriday Week 4, Music)

So, this is an unfinished piece, just wanted to get it up in time for Friday, will be reposting with the finished one as soon as I can...

Love how this came out ,and will expound upon it when it's done. : D

Me and my cousins, (Illustration Friday week 3, Unbalanced)

So,

I started drawing Girls with birds on their heads earlier this year! So, the birds represent thoughts. And this is sort of a representative of how thoughts can overpower, and unbalance you. She's tipping over. It's a big bird.

Also, colors are really off, due to poor lighting. May repost with better light later. This is all due to lack of scanner.

Thoughts? Comments? : D

Vroom Vroom (Illustration Friday week 2, Blur!)

Do you remember that feeling of sitting in a box, when you were little, only five or so, and feeling like you were going so fast that you were just a blur?

This is one of my characters, originally based off of Red Riding Hood, who finds an old red Motorbike helmet, and thinks that riding in a box with it would be the coolest thing in the world... This is before she builds herself a functioning box car racer (At seven). Here, she's five and is speeding off into the wild blue yonder in her head. : )

Flightless Bird (Illustration Friday, Week 1, Skinny!)

So, what started out as an assignment that I wasn't wholly excited about, turned into something really personal, and sweet. My initial thoughts: 'What's skinny? ... My legs are skinny. Oh, you know what's skinnier than that? Bird legs.' And so we got a skinny boy/girl, in a skinny forest, with skinny-legged birds.

I can relate to the person, I'm not sure if it's a boy or a girl, in my opinion they look like they're just watching, and waiting, seeing what the tall ones will say, in response to their question...

Enjoy?
