Illustration Friday – Tall


When I went on vacation, the IF topic was carry. I didn’t actually post anything for that week, but (sitting in the passenger seat driving through Wisconsin) I did make a sketch for it. It’s not finished, but I thought I’d share it anyway. So, here you go.

Brain Freeze!


Everyone likes kittens.
Everyone likes balloons.
What could possibly go wrong?

Edit: I decided I didn’t like the colors so much after I originally posted it. Too pale and flat. So I played with them a little and came up with this, which I like better.
It’s kind of sketchy and I think the arms look weird. Not worthy of the portfolio, but it’s still fun and refreshing. 🙂


This week’s Illustration Friday prompt was jump. I was going to just repost my lovely swimmer children. But, then I decided to do a little more. For those of you who saw the work in progress sketches for these two, you might remember that these were not created for the same scene. But I decided to change that and combine them into one scene formatted for a magazine cover. So, I added a background and mocked up graphics for a Highlights Magazine. So, here’s the plain image and the Highlights mock-up below. Let me know what you think.

I am not in any way affiliated with Highlights Magazine and this is not a real Highlights cover. Only an art sample.
