Here’s a quick little sketch for Illustration Friday.

He’s worn a rut in the yard with all that pacing.

Illustration Friday: Children

June 13, 2013June 15, 20132 Comments

I realized I’ve never posted any realistic portraits of people to this blog. So, I created this just to show I can. It’s a portrait of my daughter Katie. It’s drawn in Photoshop using a photo I took a few weeks ago as reference. This is an actual digital drawing, not a Photoshop filter trick.

It also counts for this week’s Illustration Friday prompt of Children. Well, child, anyway.

You know you like photos. Here are some from around my yard yesterday.

Does anyone know what kind of mushrooms those are?

My nearly wild roses are blooming like nuts.
Here’s what my rose arch looks like.
