I'm not prepared for today's whimsical illustration. But I'll share the last illustration for my website. I'm going to launch it in a few days.

FATHER OF EIGHTEEN ELVES From Favorite Folktales from Around the World by Jane Yolen. This stranger gives the child a loving look, and says to the mother, “We don’t act fairly by one another; I cuddle your child, but you beat my husband.”

maureen_machine's DTIYS challenge is definitely a fun/interesting character... But not easy!

This time I managed to get the result I had planned. I made a second attempt at drawing a magic tree. There is much more detail in this illustration. I'm satisfied. It was a great opportunity to develop my drawing skills.

First commission of the year in progress — inspired by my mural in Bristol, for a couple from the neighbourhood who walk by the mural nearly every day

My drawings creating with a fine liner, pencil or color pencils and brush pen.

Dragging through the snow On a one-girl open sled Over the hills we go… “Why aren’t we there yet?” PenguinGirl can never say NO to chocolate, and Fatty McPingoo (the fat penguin with the Harry Potter scarf) knows it all too well! I drew this in the afternoon on Christmas Eve, imagining PenguinGirl and her friends traveling in the snow to a Christmas party

The result is not as good as I imagined. But anyway I want to share it, because: - others may find it great, - art taste is subjective, - even if it's bad, you can receive a constructive critique or tips on how to improve it. Don't be afraid to share your failures. They push you forward. You can learn a lot from them.
