Illustration Friday: Sweater

-
An elephant in the room is one thing and an elephant dancing on the spot is another! ;)
This week's word for Illustration Friday is 'sweater'.
I've never called them sweaters, or pullovers, I call them jumpers or long sleeved tops! What do you call them?

Super cute illustration! I just love your use of color~~I call them "sweaters" most of the time (because i'm an American), but I live in Belgium, so sometimes I call them "les pulls." ;-)

I call them jumpers too! Always, and when I was a little girl for some reason no one knew and I can't remember, I called my adored maternal grandfather Cyril 'Jumper'. So, your lovely elephant in a jumper helped me remember my Jumper.

I like hugging people when they wear woolly jumpers. It's so cuddly! :)

Your elephant looks the happiest ever in that sweater! He saying "hey look at me, I'm so cool!
My mum is doing really well, thanks so much for asking Jessie! She is so sweet, I just want to pick her up like a child and sit her on my knee.
Jessie, I like your new advatar picture also. Really pretty!
Lovexx

Illustration Friday: Fluid

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! :)

Summer Breeze

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...

Dreamlike Painting

I like to make pictures that aren't a conventional landscape, so that the ground and the sky are interchangeable, dreamlike, floating. These paintings are done using my Tombow dual brush pens, the watercolour effect is made by adding water to the pen marks with an ordinary brush. This next one below is painted in watercolours and the black is done in waterproof drawing pens. Next is a picture made with my coloured pencils that I've had for ever. They might be ancient but they still do the job!  Oh. And my black pentel brush pen and a gold gel pen. I love a bit of gold. And finally here's a cute little cucumber that Middle Daughter grew in her garden. It looks like a lemon doesn't it? It's about the same size as a satsuma and I think they're called lemon cucumbers but let me assure you they taste like a very tasty cucumber. Have a great week!xx
