Illustration Friday: Leap

Another rushed entry for Illustration Friday! Life is just too busy at the moment! I had a few ideas for this (which I intend to do and post later) but due to workload this 10 minute Illustrator pic will have to do for this week!

Corel Painter X test


I just bought a copy of Corel painter X and got the loan of a Wacom Tablet. I'll have to get my own tablet soon - they are great fun to work with. Above is my first experiment with a new 'medium' on the PC.

Spare art: Multiple

I kinda liked this image. It was an early possibility for the 'multiple' theme, but fell by the wayside. Thought I'd post it here anyway.

Illustration Friday: Multiple


Another week, another Illustration Friday theme. This week the theme is 'Multiple'. I have had a lot of fun playing around with several ideas for this one.

However the image I finally settled on was the one above - Multiple Possibilities.

I decided to illustrate my chaotic thought process in the run up to each Friday's deadline!

Hope you like it.

Illustration Friday: Theory

'In theory a wish would be granted upon seeing a shooting star.'

For this image - as usual - I used Adobe Illustrator extensively.

I'm very happy with the background image, I feel I hit the mark I intended, but I think the people in the foreground are a bit 'underdeveloped'. On reflection I would have liked a 'rougher' feel to them as well and they seem a bit shallow.

I may come back to this one and rework it at a future date. I think it has potential, but work and life has caught up on me this week and so it will have to do for now.


In theory... I should have had more time to work on this!

Thanks and regards....

Vector portrait



My father died five years ago from cancer. Among his things were a few photographs of him in his late teens, taken around 1949.

This illustration is based on one of those photos. I think maybe I'll broaden it's scope eventually, using it in another image with a bit more depth to it. In the meantime, I thought I'd share what I'd done with it so far.

Illustration Friday: Choose

Illustration Friday can be found at http://www.illustrationfriday.com . This is my first submission. I feel more than a bit daunted due to the level and skill of the many participants. I'll just stand quietly in a corner and take in the view.
