Penguins say RAH!!!

Lately I've been missing just drawing stuff... when I was on my work experience I missed being able to sit down and draw with a pencil... I should point out that they didn't ban it lol, but encouraged me to mac everything up as quickly as possible. I'm not too clever at that. These I did the other day, largely for my own amusement... when my youngest nephew was a little bit younger, my sister quite cruelly asked him what penguins say... he said rah.

I like the illustrations in themseleves... kinda, but really dislike the ones with backgrounds... but I'll work on that another time as I'm now sick of looking at these ones lol. Also, I much prefer the male penguin to the female one as she looks a bit naff with the bows... the male one looks a bit more old-skule. I'm currently working on some bear illustrations

Owlies





Miiiine

This is something I'm working on at the moment partly as a result of errrrr recent events... and partly as I've been inspired by the work on the KidHaus blog... but basically I wanted to do some children's illustration. At the moment I'm just working on animal images... I want to apply them to something... maybe just screen prints onto baby stuff, but I might look at doing a storybook or something. I dunno... Anyway the owl is by no means finished... there's currently 6 hand-drawn versions but they all look a bit rough at the moment...

And a bit more development...

round 1s...

Cake!!!



yvonne niewerth work... this reminds me of a bit of work I was helping with on my Work placement. I think it's a nice simple illustration style and I like the vintage colours and quality to it :D

Nice and Simple

Illustration AND packaging... maybe this is what I could do with my life? lol
the above pic is by Anastaia Gerali... i like it but it's very much like Si Scott's animal illustration style...
