Day 24's Sketch: Work-in Progress "Punny Dog" Number 2-"Border Collie.."

 


This is work in progress-it still doesn't look in the least like it does in my head (!). But in the interests of keeping up with the challenge, am posting the concept of this now, to polish later.

Hope you're having a great weekend.

Funny Relaxation Cartoon: Day 23's Sketch Actually Happened to Me...

 


Hope this raises a smile for you. A version of this actually happened to me, when I was too stressed with juggling projects to sit down and watch a programmer on mindfulness :-). So it is and was too good a cartooning opportunity to miss.

Take care-more tomorrow.

Pelargoniums (A Wet-Into-Wet Experiment for Day 22)


 

These pelargoniums are a mile stone for me. Have never "let go" and intentionally done "wet into wet ," watecolour happen after the penwork is done.

 (Translation if you're not arty: I've always been very controlled, painting on dry paper, and have only today intentionally changed that, just wetting areas of the paper, adding spots of colour, and letting them flow where they will).

At the moment it's "work in progress" because am not sure whether it'll end up as a pattern, a card, or something else. 

Let's see where this goes...


More tomorrow.


PS. Unusually, this developed into a pattern pretty quickly. Will let you know if/when it finds its way onto items etc.

Free Cookie Clip Art/Macaroon Illustration (Day 21)

 For Day 21, I needed a cookie graphic to make the privacy page look a bit brighter.

So this is a quick pen and wash sketch, which I'm offering free as web clip art.

Daily Sketch Day 20⁠ ⁠: Love me, Love my Houseplants



Day 20's sketch is "Love me. Love my houseplants," which is destined for T-shirts and the like.
 It's also something I actually said to my husband the other day. (And was rather unfair considering that it's him and his long arms that do a lot of our watering).

Anyway, hope this is fun for you, and more tomorrow.
