I knew I wanted some kind of creature on the stage and as I've been drawing penguins lately, penguins it had to be! Dragonflies can't act quite as well, take it from me.
Oh, these guys are wonderful! When I read your tweet about painting them, I knew I would be in for a treat. You can really capture some great expression on their faces and I am expecting the Penguin Dance to be the next craze! What do you think?
Seriously, this is truly great fun and very nice work! I keep wondering what is next from Jess...
Yes penguins are great actors...and when they accept their Oscars they allways wear their tuxedos. :O) Great work Jessie. I love penguins and your ROCK!
Ha haaa! These penguins are fabulous!! I'm smiling.. they're like dancing and their expression is fantastic! Well done, this illo is funny and the cast is great! ^_^
What's happened to the weather? It's raining and windy and my gas was switched of all day yesterday so it was cold too! This little sketch popped into my sketchbook from my windy head. I finished this painting on canvas above a few days ago, it's called 'Safe Harbour' and soon after finished the other painting (with the bird flying a kite) too. I didn't have a name for it until the end and I decided upon 'Summer Breeze'. That was a day when the sun was still shining but the wind was beginning to stir. Summer Breeze sounds quite soothing doesn't it and I quite like the song of the same name. :) That guitar intro takes me back to being 13 before teenage angst really set in! Windy and rainy it might be but my latest painting is filled with a peaceful setting of pattern and colour. I like textures and the effects of different painting techniques and I'm trying to balance randomness with pattern. Not an easy ta...

This is my painting for this week's Illustration Friday word. I first drew it with a black fineliner pen, added watercolour and finished the shading with coloured pencils. I don't know why I'm drawing fish recently, it could be the shape. They're similar to leaves aren't they, and teardrops or raindrops? I tend to draw a lot of spirals too. What shapes do you have a tendency to draw? (close-up view) Don't forget I have a 10% discount in my Etsy shop this week! :)
