January Umbrella Illustration

 

Free "January Umbrella Illustration" by Clare Walker, BoundingSquirrel.Com

Hello there.

Like most of the rest of the world, it seems, I just can't believe that it's January. How did that happen?

Anyway, this is the first working day here in England, so a happy new year to you, and I hope that the previous couple of weeks have been however you most needed them to be.

And yes, this is also January's illustration, with apologies if you usually like to download them waaay earlier.

And yes, I've gone with the snow, though it was actually about 16 degrees C here in London on New Year's Day (how?). And I know, also, that you probably need another version if you're in a different climate/latitude/hemisphere altogether. (If this is the case, feel free to use the swanky new BoundingSquirrel contact form here to let me know what would work better for you).

Just to let you know...

As ever, you're welcome to download this image (right-click, click or tap the image, depending on your device, to do so) in accordance with my angel policy.

That's about all for now, but have a lovely few days, and there'll be more soon.

Day 94: Whimsical Rainbow Birds and Winter Birches Digital Painting (Work-in-Progress)

Day 94 and these birdies were inspired by my watching a "squirrelly" video on Youtube (oh, I know how to live...oh, yes...;-) . In one "background" shot, there were also snowy Scandinavian birch trees, full of birds. 

The birds in the video were not of course, anything like these colours, being mostly small and brown, bless them. 

But watching that made me think about what it would be like if they *were* rainbow-coloured, (like my robin from Day 85)...

Which was just a hop, skip and a jump (or in this case, flutter) away from adding in rainbow  splats too, and more snow, twigs and trees, And before you know it (really fast, by my standards) this digital painting in Krita was the result.

Am still calling it work-in-progress though. Am leaving it here for now, but suspect there's something more to come here.

More tomorrow.

Hello there, and hope all's well with you. Today's offering is this quick little doodle in Krita, born of an experiment with drawing "snowy" letters.

It isn't big enough to look good for printing, but if you want to use it for your website or similar, feel free (click, right-click or tap and save accordingly, depending on your device).

As ever, credit and a link back here is *greatly* appreciated, but never required.

More tomorrow!
