IF: Tree

This one is turning into a fun story. Seems those that are shy can win out if they just keep trying.

The illustration itself was simple enough to create. The concept was fun, I always seem to like to create trees. They are one of the funnest subjects to illustrate. They are so flexible and versatile.

IF: Shy

 Um....I think you dropped this.

Alright, new month...new story. Lets see how it will unfold for this poor shy fellow. I am actually quite happy how this one turned. I wasn't sure how to go with this subject, but I work at a school so how else can I be inspired but with that which surrounds me. And the boys here have no idea how to speak to the girls. 

I also had some fun with the technique mixing water color with block printing. All applied digitally but with the attempt to make it look traditional. I'm really starting to like this new style.

IF: Sky

Here is the last of the Octobers series. I didn't get to work on it as long as I would like but overall the series is sound.
I tried to tell a story in honor of the holiday, Halloween. Focusing on what might actually scare you is just your own imagination. In the end, I couldn't help myself putting in a blob of a monster. hehe

In any case...  Happy Halloween! Everyone!

IF: Water

I hate deadlines. But here you go, the next part of the story. Not my favorite and I did most of this tired after finishing another illustration. But I will accomplish my goal this month.

IF: Mirror

Missed the deadline for this week but I still wanted to continue the sequence.
So here is the image for 'mirror'.
I wanted to go along the theme of the thing you fear the most is in your mind. This girl has created in her mind her worst fears and so will jump at anything, even a simple reflection of herself. Remember this is a sequence and this is only the second in the series, so check out the other illustrations to get the full story. :)

IF: Book

Happy October Everyone!

         I want to get back to having a sequential story along with the themes from Illustration Friday. So here is the first of a series, I will see how the story evolves as we get new themes from I.F. It will be scary though in respect for October cheer.

This particular piece I tried to focus on texture and I did have a lot of fun with that. I need to play more with the Korean paper I have recently picked up so we shall see what I will do next. 

IF: Bounce

Illustration done in a half hour, bounce. Next topic please, this one wasn't my favorite.
