Illustration Friday: Temptation

Every time I come home I just want to go to my computer, to draw, to work, to watch series and just doodle around on the internet. Temptation is always there when I glance at the computer it draws me in. I'm a sucker that's what it is. So in light of this weeks IF: Temptation here's my thought on my computer.

Made with Illustrator, finished with Photoshop.

Illustration Friday: Entangled

Ok, so I decided to color the pen drawing for IF: Entangled. Original version can be seen in my last post. 

Illustration Friday: Entangled

This week's 'Word du jour' for Illustration Friday is Entangled and I thought about my own hair being entangled when I was in the hospital for over a week. I decided shortly after I should cut it down to minimal female length :)
I thought about making the hair different shades of red, but decided not to. I might try it later on though. Let me know what you think.

IF: Moustache - Famous Cartoon Moustaches, can you guess them?

Moustaches. Wonderful prickly things hanging under men's noses. They come in all different shapes and sizes. I wonder if you can pick out which ones I've used here. I've got a hint. They're all very well known figures from comic books and TV-cartoons. If you get them all right you'll win my awe because I think especially the first one is difficult so I'll give you an extra tip for that one: 'It's all green.'

Good luck :)

IF: Sky

"All the dragons are extinct now and there's no way to move from island to island. 

There's no way to communicate with other islands. 

This is my home and my prison. 

We're totally self reliant, everyone has their own job to do. 

Always with the same people. 

Day in day out, it's boring and I feel a need to explore, to get off this island, but how...?" 

Illustration Friday: Yield

Missed one week, had great ideas, but alas no time to make the illustration I wanted. Luckaly this week is better. Illustration Friday's word of the week is: Yield. I decided on an infographic type illustration. Made entirly with illustrator and it's 3D function.

In order to yield you have to seed. And I see it's almost time for my carrots to go in to the ground. Yummie, can't wait till they're done. I hope to yield loads of carrots in about 150 days :-)

Illustration Friday: Capable

On a role here ;-) Two weeks in a row that I've been fortunate enough to have time to participate with the Illustration Friday Word of the Week.
So here's my entry for this week. Been trying to teach myself to draw better. Still getting used to using photoshop for coloring so please bear with me :)

Let me know what you think and thank you for watching my blog.

Illustration Friday: Fluid

It's been a while since I've done something with the illustration friday website. But school is almost finished and I seem to have some time left over (wow!).

I made this using only photoshop, which was a challenge for me because I work better with Illustrator. But still I think it was nice (and I made this in school hours which is even better ;-) )

LMK what you think,

Word of the week: Stank

Snowboarder

Made with a tut that I found in Advanced Photoshop.

Film clipboard

Made with illustrator's 3D functions :) Very happy about making this without using a tutorial.

Paint splatter

Paint splatter, made with photoshop.

Now Dance

Not been doing much with photoshop lately and I thought it was about time that I tried it again. Don't use it as much as I do Illustrator but would like to know it as well as I do Illustrator.

It's a start :)

IF Duet

This week Illustration Fridays word is Duet. I didn't have a plan when I started drawing. I just wanted it to turn out 'happy and colorfull'. It's the first time i've attempted this layered look with all the shading. The drawing was made entirly in illustrator.

I can imagine these octopus singing something like "I'm dancing in the rain" or maybe a little "Row, row, row your boat". As long as they stay happy it's alright with me :)

Let me know what you think of the drawing. Would love to hear from you guys.

IF - Toys

Can you feel it? Voodoo doll.

In the nick of time for this weeks IF. Couldn't get into the IF website yesterday evening. Hope I'll be a bit faster next week.
Had to think for a few days what i'd draw for this weeks IF, but I think it turned out pretty good.
The doll is completely 3D and was made with illustrator and the background was photoshopped. Hope you like it. Let me know if you do.

Illustration Friday - Cultivate

The Illustration Friday word of this week is 'Cultivate'. I immediatly thought of the carrots I have to plant next month in our garden. First you seed, then they grow and then we eat.

Let me know what you think of the drawing that I made with Illustrator. (I love the 3D renders you can make with the program. Absolutely brilliant!)

Creative course

Today I learned that I've been accepted to start in the creative DTP course that's starting this monday. The teacher I had the appointment with even thought my work was a level above the level of most students. Which is great to hear ofcourse :)

So starting monday I'm back in school after 15-some years. Brilliant!

Killer Bunny Illustrator Tutorial

I was looking on counteracting all the happy go lucky easter bunny's that are starting to pop-up everywhere and this was the perfect project. I followed this tutorial and made this crazy Killer Bunny illustration. Plus I learned some great new techniques. Which is good for me, especially since I only started drawing a couple of months ago and I'm still getting grips with all that Illustrator has to offer me.

Here's what I ended up with after I followed the tutorial.

I love the movement of the whole thing, I has to make me some more of these. It was great fun to make. Now I'm going to see if I can make something of my own for 'Illustration Friday' this week the word is Danger and for a second I thought I'd put the bunny in, but I don't think that would be fair.
