Gesture

Be kind to your elders!  This week's topic on Illustration Friday is gesture.  My first thought was "doing a kind gesture for someone."  I really enjoyed working on this because animals are so much fun to draw, especially cutie-pie squirrels.  Although he's struggling, he has the best intentions of helping Grandmother Squirrel.  I would definitely like to use these characters again in future illustrations.

Stay

"When the neighborhood kids have a water balloon war... i stay inside!"  This is my illustration for this week's Illustration Friday topic - "stay".  I loved water balloon wars when I was young.  Who doesn't love them?  The only bummer was having to pick up all of the bits and pieces of broken water balloons all over the backyard!!!  Maybe that's why kids stick to Super Soakers these days, or virtual water balloon fights on the Wii...  I'd prefer a combo of water balloons AND Super Soakers.  Especially the Super Soaker with the backpack water supply!  hah ha!

who needs a dog when you have a pet armadillo (in progress).

I'm nearly finished with this illustration.  I'll be creating a warm sunset in the background, and at that point I can add the rest of the thorns on the cactus.  The illustration definitely needs something else but I'd like to get started on my next Illustration Friday piece so... I'll put this one on hold for this evening.

who needs a dog when you have a pet armadillo.

Work in progress.  I hope to finish it within the next few days.  I will probably get rid of the leash and put something else in front of them...  Something quite unexpected.  :)
