Detach

This week's topic for Illustration Friday is "Detach," which seems kind of nebulous to me. Even though I usually try to do a new piece for the topic, I felt that this worked well for how I pictured "detach." Camping, hiking, and especially skiing are my ways of detaching from whatever might be bugging me at the time. This piece was a 5-10 min oil study that I just love. Sometimes you don't mean to make anything special and it turns out well.

Sail

"Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale..."
So, I tried to push myself and see how fast I could pump out an illustration for this one. So I spent from last Friday till now trying to come up with an idea and then about 20 minutes drawing this and coloring it. I am not super happy with the color job, but better to have it done, I guess. I think the idea is still good, though. Maybe this will become one of those ideas that I revisit later when I am more patient and focused.

Poof!

This week's Illustration Friday topic is "Poof!" This hits especially close to home for me, since I experience "poof" on a daily basis. This is my morning routine.

Sketchbook

I just scanned in a bunch of stuff from my sketchbook. I thought I'd post one of the pages here and if you want to see the rest you can go hit up my gallery.
