Illustration Friday "Escape"

Technique: First I drew with silver sharpie in sketchbook. The image was scanned and manipulated through layers, layers, and more layers. Sorry-too much to list all.

Random Drawing 5

Here's a sample of a shirt I did for Cafepress. It was so much fun! I love these little doggies. I have other stuff there too.

Technique: I drew image with pencil and outlined with sharpie. I scanned into Photoshop and added color

Illustration Friday "Depth"

Technique: This is simply the manipulation of 2 photos in Photoshop. I couldn't get the idea in my head onto paper with drawing. I think I like the results even though I feel like I cheated (the larger view is more impresssive than this view) Photo-illustration?

Aren't the eyes the window to your soul?
I quote Peter Gabriel: (In Your Eyes)
in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes

Koi coming up for a feeding.

Technique: First I drew a single fish with a pencil and then outlined with a fine point sharpie marker. I scanned the image into Photoshop and added color. I duplicated the fish & changed colors. I added a background and bubbles with Photoshop. I duplicated layers and played with opacity. I worked with the following filters: noise, blur and radial blur.

Illustration Friday "Roots"

Compositionally, I think this is the weakest Illustration Friday drawing I've done! But I do like how vibrant the colors came out.

Technique: I drew the image with pencil and then outline with sharpie marker. I colored the image with prisma color watercolor pencils. I added water with a fine brush and drew in some final details with wet pencils. I scanned and voila!
