IF: Wrapped

'Wrapped around ears'....

This is an ACEO (original) I sold recently on Ebay as part of a set of 4 'Bubblegum Bunnies'

Watercolour wash base and Prismacolor pencil.

IF: Idle

Well I've certainly been idle with my illustration blog of late, so really had to play along with this weeks theme!

Hope you like my idle pair.

IF: Adapt 'Bear for Mikka'

I found a request for people to draw a bear in memory of the death of a young husband and father - Mikka - via Kathy Hares wonderful blog. Seemed like an appropriate entry for this weeks IF as Mikka's family will truely had to adapt to a new life after this terrible loss.

Here is the little bear I've sent, but you must see Kathys beautiful illustration and maybe send your own...

IF: Cracked

Hope to add some colour to this little guy later.

IF: Clandestine

Although pets were allowed at the lighthouse, the tenants thought they ought to keep their particular pet a secret.

IF: Balloon

IF: Opinion (sought)

Would love your opinion on my new characters...(am I exploiting this weeks word?!)

IF: Pretend (Trick or Treat)

IF: Wise

Keen to start learning!

IF: Repair

Someone had better repair the lock on that door before these creatures escape!

IF: Late....run bunny, run!

Appropriately late bunny doodle for this week

IF: Strings

IF: Sugary

This is one I did a little while ago as part of a series of bunnies, it seems to fit the theme this week.... a 'sugary sweet' bunny with cake!

IF: Packed

Play time is over and all the toys are packed away...

IF: Island

What a great word! Wish I had time to do something new this week, but I will have to settle for posting an older one.

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!

IF: Memories

Does swinging from trees have to become a childhood memory when your feet touch the ground?...

IF: Routine

Just a quick sketch. This is me, back to school (just realised I haven't drawn any clothes on! May have to redo this post.)

I teach philosophy part time and it's just as big a shock for teachers getting back into the routine of school after a long summer...I've forgotten everything!

IF: Detach

As I've been a bit lapse with my IF posts recently I'm hoping this just about covers the last two topics...see how the ballooning bunnies 'detach' and 'sail' away...

IF: Poof! (Tinned Genie)

The lid of the can sprang open and 'poof', a genie appeared!
