Illustration Friday - Vocal

(Click on image for better view)

Little Owlet was always the loudest cheerer at all of the basketball games.

This is still in it's sketch phase, still needs a bit of work, but this is about all I have time for this week!  Hopefully I'll get around to finishing this by next week...I'll post when it's complete!  

Illustration Friday - Capable II

Okay, here's my second of the same scene I did before (see post below).  This time I changed up the colors a bit and changed the placement of things in the background.  I still would like her to be lighter...maybe I'll try her brown?  Which image do you like better...this one or the one below?

Illustration Friday - Capable

Little Owlet is very capable of playing the violin, but she may need a bit more practice first!

I think this is my earliest entry for Illustration Friday!  Yay!  I just happen to be working on some images for a story I have written.  Trying out different colors for the owls and background, etc.    I am working on another one of this at the moment, I changed the placement of some of the things in the background and the color of the violin playing owl...seems a bit dark for her...anyway, I'll post more when they are done!  I'd love any feed back that you might want to give!

Illustration Fridays - Sweater

For IF this week, I did two quick illustrations for the word is sweater.  Since it is Valentine's Day, I thought I'd share an image of me and my husband.  Before we met my husband saw me on our college campus and  (I guess) I had on a pink sweater...so from then on he referred to me as "the pink sweater chick"  (very romantic, I know.)  However, he used to tell his friends that he was going the marry that pink sweater chick.  When we finally met it was definitely love at first sight...we have been married 13 years and this is our 19th Valentine's Day together!  

Below...I thought I'd do and owl version of us!

Illustration Fridays - Deja Vu

Please scroll down to see all :)!

Did I help you to have your own Deja-vu moment?  For this week's Illustration Friday prompt Deja-vu, I thought I'd try the same picture over and over with slightly different techniques!  I was trying to see what I liked better...charcoal pencil shading and outline, pencil outline or sepia ink pen outline...hmmm. 

 Any thoughts?

Illustration Fridays - Resolutions

Here's my contribution for this week's Illustration Friday prompt - resolutions.  One of my resolutions for our family is to have regular Family Fun nights!  I am with my children a lot, but so much of the time is bringing them to various practices, keeping them clean, clothed and fed, keeping them from arguing too much, making sure projects and homework gets done....but where's the fun?  So, in the hope of gaining more quality time with our children that doesn't require a major outing or spending lots of money AND before I look back and say, "Where did the time go?"...I am going to try to savor the moments more for us and for them!
