Lost Elf - Illustration Friday

Here is my lastest illustration. It's a LOST ELF girl.  Of course it's my submission for this week's Illustration Friday, (the theme is 'Lost'.)

Again, trying different techniques and the goal is just to capture my idea without too much stressing out over every detail to the point I don't actually complete it. There is always more I could do or improve. But I'm happy with it.

The Sketch: I always love it when artists and illustrators talk about and share their process. That includes seeing initial sketches.  So... here is my idea sketch for my lost elf girl illustration.




As you can see, it resembles nothing, but just an idea. It's a good thing I'm not known for my drawing skill!!

Illustration Friday - REFRESH






Here is my latest illustration (for Illustration Friday). The theme this week is 'refresh.'  I thought a cat playing in puddles in the rain seemed quite refreshing. Hope you like it.

I'm trying to not get so caught up in details and just get the concept done, moving quickly and not being so judgmental of my work or process.
