Illustration Friday- Voyage

Here's my entry for voyage. I had to take a picture of my illustration because it's too big for my scanner - that's why the colours look bad. I promise I didn't use those greens in real life!-. I painted it with acrylics and coloured pencils. It still takes me ages to finish an illustration with traditional materials but I always feel very happy after I finish it.

Piggy

Here's a little piggy I drew just for fun. I've been feeling so tired lately that even the most enjoyable activities seem  so difficult.... *sighs* I shall use all my inner strength to keep on drawing because I really, really, REALLY want to illustrate children's books!

Ramcito matemático

I did this ram for my husband's website (it's something about maths, you can see it here) however he liked better other drawing I did a while ago. I think my drawings have improve a lot since I did that one, but he prefers the old one.

Lately I've been seeing lots of illustrations by Lydia Monks and I just love how she mixes pictures of textures into her illustrations, so that's what I did for the ram's jumper.

Illustration Friday - Disguise

This cat wanted some new friends, so don't worry, he's not planing on eating the chicks. Besides the hen is too busy to notice a new addition to the family :)

Illustration Friday - Search

This little monkey is searching its friend's head, I hope it finds something yummy!

Illustration Friday - Time

I had a wonderful 2 weeks holiday in England and now I'm back to my drawings. This is my first drawing of 2014, and for this I used one of the presents I got for my birthday - lots of colour pencils!

The weather in England is not very nice - lots of rain and cold- so it's always nice to have one or more cups of tea everyday. My favourite kind of tea is earl grey, what's your favourite kind of tea?

NB- I have a really crapy scanner and that's why the colouring of the piggy looks so strange :( I don't know how to fix that nor in photoshop nor with the scanner. Oh well, never mind 

Partners

I find it so romantic that penguins have partners for life :) another drawing for #doodleadaynov

Begins with R

This is for #doodleadaynov. I'm actually quite behind with the daily drawings :( I've been having a lot of work lately but it's always nice to draw

Vehicle

How fast would this vehicle go? This is for #doodleadaynov

On the floor

I like drawing on the floor sometimes. This is for #doodleadaynov.

Small

Russian babushka dolls for #doodleadaynov

Roots

This little bunny is for #doodleadaynov

Paper

I can't believe it's already november. This year has passed so quickly! 

This drawing is for #doodleadaynov and the word is paper. I haven't done origami before so I thought I'd give it a try, alas I'm not good at it :( so for the moment I'll stick with drawings. 

Illustration friday- Creature

This week I have two options for "Creature" because my husband liked one more than the other and I the other way 'round. Which one do you like better?

Tortu-mail

Since I left my home country I've had to use the post service to send christmas cards and presents. Every year I've had to send them earlier and earlier because they never arrive on time - one of my friends got her card in march!- I'm guessing they're employing tortoises instead of people, that's the only way I could understand such delays.  I've already send my presents this year, so I hope all my friends and family get them on time.

Puffin

Shopping Cart

Yesterday I saw a very small dog carrying the groceries in a shopping cart attached to its body. Sooo cute! I wonder if I could train my cat to do the same - I highly doubt it!-

Illustration Friday- Power

I'm a strong believer in power naps. Alas I don't take one everyday, but when I'm feeling very tired I do and it really works!

Illustration Friday- Surveillance

Hugging Bears

I just discover this bears in an old sketchbook and added some colour in photoshop. I think they're cute
