Illustration Friday: Red

Published at January 26, 2007 in Illustration Friday and Artwork. 0 Comments

This is an older illustration, but I just had to cheat this week because of my work load. This little girl was the very first thing I thought of when hearing this week’s theme. She’s made an appearance in several of my illos, and maybe she will again in the future. I hope you like her.

Illustration Friday: 80s

The Smurfs and Max Headroom, combined in this deliciously 80s illustration.<p>I was a child and a teenager during the 80s, a most impressionable decade for anyone, let alone someone who was trying to find himself.

I had to rush through this one since I’m heading to Atlanta this week for work. Wish I had more time to devote to it. Anyway, it’s a tribute to Buzz Aldrin, the second man to set foot on the moon.

I think I’ve reached a point where I need to feel a little growing pain. Illustration Friday has at times exercised my creativity till it hurt. Themes that seemed totally uninspiring at first, have developed into some of my favorite illustrations after pages of brainstorm-doodling. I think this week’s submission is one of those.

So I’m ready for the next step. Requesting critiques.

I’ve had some amazing artists leave some really nice comments on my blog, and those are very nice emotional back pats, and I still welcome those ;) but if you have any constructive criticism, my arms are open wide.

Oh, and if Illustration Friday has helped you in any way, please consider making a donation to help Penelope pay for the site’s expenses, which I’m sure get pretty pricey. Thanks.
