Illustration challenge/ Market

I have discovered that packing board is the best stuff to draw on! It doesn't tare or wrinkle, you can blend really well on it, you'll never rub a whole through it and you don't need to frame it! I love it!

Week 15: Detail 2

Illustration challenge update

 

Week 15: Detail

 

Technically this theme doesn't start until tomorrow, but I finished early and had to share.
This is done in coloured pencil and the first I've done in this style. I've never been good with pencils so I'm really surprised at how it turned out. It was meant to be bigger but I got impatient and started rushing and mucked up the edges. I need to learn that it's ok to spend more than 1 day on a piece. (especially if I'm already early)

Week 14: Simplicity 

Done with fine liner, watercolour and pencil. I was originally going to go for simple shapes and plain colours for this theme, but after seeing some other submissions I decided to take a more conceptual approach. Hopefully it isn't too vague. (Hint: It's about craving simplicity)

The background of the blog was my second submission. I was just lucky enough to need a simple picture to use as a back drop.
