IF: Clutter


This is a pen drawing I did a couple of years ago when practicing illustrating to a story. I looked on the internet for a short childrens story that might be suitable and came across a website called 'Short Stories', and using the Children's section I found a simple story about a girl with an untidy bedroom.

It's a great way to discipline yourself and develop a character...that said I only got as far as this line drawing and a rough story board!

This is a cute illustration, maybe you'll still colour it? Although I like the pencil drawing as it is.

What a fabulous idea! That's great practice and a constant source of inspiration. This is an adorable illustration. I can relate to this little character!
