Illustration Friday _ Disguise

Couldn't pass this one. This weeks contribution to Illustration Friday

Disguise

Does this little penguin really think his disguise will work? 

Twoodle FUN

I love to experiment with Twoodles! This week I chose the word Pee Wee Herman, Robin, Balloons

If you would like to join us check out #twoodle on twitter.com. I think I will also use this for this weeks Illustration Friday word challenge- Tail. 

Layering Watercolors

It takes several layers to create that just right portrait. The process alone may seem a bit tedious. But for me it is soothes my soul! I love how a thought evolves through research and then finally begins to emerge through a pencil sketch. I started this Kerry Washington illustration thinking about this weeks Illustration Friday's challenge word - SECRET. I knew that Kerry had some secrets she kept hidden. And, since I'm such a Scandal fan I thought it would be a great illustration to work on.

Here is the FINAL ___ Still a work in progress for me

I usually research several images of a subject before I choose the image 

I would like to work on.

After the initial sketch is complete ...- Then the FUN begins! 

The layering begins with watercolor.

Once I've blocked all of my colors in, it's time for a digital layer.

Those little fishies just smiled.

But, this little mermaid

drank fluids
