Because llamas have wool.
A drawing of the old stone building (mill?) out at Lake Olathe south of Dennis where Cedar Creek flows under the bridge into the lake. This is to fill an art challenge for the Olathe Visual Artists Association (OVA).

I originally tried to do this as a full-color digital painting, but working on it just felt like pulling teeth. When I started over and decided to try with thin brown lines instead, something just seemed to click. I’m not sure if it’s that good, but it satisfied me so much more than a painterly, colored piece would have.

Perspective on something geometric, like a building, is much easier to do than perspective on something organic, like people. So, this was a challenge. I’m not 100% happy with it, but I’m sharing anyway. Enjoy. 
I don’t know why, but I’m really proud of that contrail. That came out well, I think. 



Everyone’s shy at a middle school mixer.
I finally finished this one off. It was originally a sketch for Illustration Friday on a week when the word was grounded.


Thank you, Penelope with Illustration Friday, for choosing my prompt again this week.
I used a font called ROCKY AOE by Astigmatic One Eye Typographic Institute. The rest of the image is entirely my own work.
