Illustration friday: Free

Tee hee, I like drawing pictures of girls making funny faces, but like not on purpose. Did you know that you make faces like these ALL the time, in fact, have someone take a picture of you while you're talking. It's quite marvelous. This may be a bit of a stretch, but I think it fits the theme, this chick is free, no inhibitions, no pose, exactly how nature intended for us to look (silly). Or you could say, Britt, you're full o' shit, and leave it at that.

One O' my profs said I draw like an animator, and it's been making me think lately that when I think of ideas for illustrations, they're always moving in my head, so I always want to do sequentials... maybe I was meant to be an animator. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever figure out what I really want to be, I keep flip flopping. The next thing I know I'll want to be a ballerina again...

Aaaaanyway, This was part of a full page. Which to the untrained eye, will look like a bunch of nonsense, but don't fret, it IS a bunch of nonsense.

Hot Diggety! Illustration friday: Strength

So this is a little ditty for class, I tried to link it to a bigger picture I don't know if it worked, I'm still figuring blogger out. Anyway, this image is called "Burn the British with a Cow" which is Diner-Speak code for a buttered and toasted english muffin. This was so far the best assignment I've ever had in my entire school career. And that's most of my life. I'm also using it as my contribution to this weeks illustration friday. I mean really, look at that cow, his strength and resolve not to even notice that he's being burnt at the stake....

I had a lovely comment on my last post asking if I had a link to bigger pictures, and the answer is: nnnnnnnnnyes! I almost tricked you! anyhoo, night, and doodle. Neither of them are anything special, just doodles really, and slightly frightening ones. And that beautiful magenta pen is a fine tip felty-like marker made by Staedtler. It's called the Triplus fineliner. That link is to the Canadian website, but I'm sure they sell them on the american site too.

I wanted to thank everyone for commenting, it was so nice to know that someone saw my post, and cared enough to say something nice!

Illustration Friday!

Yay! First real post! First off, the doodle I churned out during class for Illustration Friday:

And while I'm at it, I may as well post this absolutely ridiculous doodling that occurred in my notebook. Everything in dark pink occurred on Nov 3rd like it says, but the light pink and brown happened only yesterday, I figured there's not point in wasting paper when I barely have anything...well...to write anyways.

Alright, time to test this baby out. Not that I need another blog, but...well there's no going back now. Aside from this first test post, I intend to keep this blog for illustration friday only.

well well well, all seems good and nice, and goddamn it's my bedtime.
