Illustrator Journal #18: More Animal Kingdom stuff

I did some more rougher sketches and deeper shading to work on my compositions and I came up with a few more concepts for my lil’ project.

IW: Wack! List 2

I did some more that I wanted to show you, continuing to experiment with this simplistic and self-expressive style.

It’s self-expressive because it carries on with my impulse to record feelings and moments that I want to capture and the lining colour, as well as the extra details, is a reflection of that feeling. The muscle-man tells that muscles don’t compare to real, practical muscle and it’s comical of the typical “meathead” as they’re called around here. Another one to mention is the sleeping fella, whom resembles me and my consistent bouts of fatigue when I get up in the morning.

Like I said, it’s simplistic and self-expressive so although it’s cartoony and most often comical, it’s also personal .

(Belated) Haiku Monday: Snap, Crackle and Pop

Snap crackle and pop,
Carnivorous ricicles,
Delicious crunching.

Now satiated,
A roaring lion’s stomach,
Quelled the appetite.

Illustrator Journal #17: Working on a Request and other things…

I have a request from a friend to design a logo and facebook wall piece for her new shop, “Shrinking Violet” and while I’m working hard on designing sketches, it’s taking longer than I though and I shall upload the final pieces (and all the photos of the design stages) in a later post.

Shrinking Violet

Sorry the post is relatively short, but I’ll see you tomorrow :3
