Illustration Friday - Voyage
Did this several months ago. It was my first attempt at using Caran d'Ache Neocolors. Much as I love watercolors, every effort to use them ends up in an epic fail for me. So, I thought that perhaps I might have a little more luck trying the watercolor crayons (is it okay to call them that??) and using them dry instead of wet. Also -- I admit it -- I'm an art supply junkie and the concept of artist's crayons just sounded too good to pass up. Had to try them. I was also using acrylic paint and watercolor pencils so I managed to accidentally wet this piece in spots that I'd intended to keep dry and I ended up with lots of ugly splotches. Oh well. Somehow, I still had fun with this little piece and I'm posting it as a reminder to myself that it's good to experiment regardless of the results.

Illustration Friday - Vanity
I think I created this picture for an Illustration prompt some time ago, but didn't complete it in time. I think that it might fit this week's prompt.

Illustration Friday: Robot
Here's a sketch for this week's Illustration Friday prompt. I am enjoying just trying to complete a sketch rather than trying to finish the piece. This week, I was slightly less lazy than I was last week and broke out the scanner instead of just using my camera phone!

Illustration Friday: Travel
Haven't posted anything for Illustration Friday for ages. Since it's so hard for me to get an idea AND finish a piece in under a week, I decided that this week, my goal should just be completing a sketch and not a 'finish'. So, I'm posting a horrible picture of my sketch that I took with my phone instead of scanning it, but...I have posted SOMETHING. I might finish this at some point. Not sure.
