Friend #1 Background

I have finally finished Friend #1! Yay.

Now I have to finish Friend #4... :)

Student on Ladder

It only took 30 hours! (That's sarcasm btw.)

Sneak Peek

Although these are not my friends they are students of friends, and it's the same style of those pieces.





You can see that it's not quite finished, but I thought I would share what I have been working on this summer.

Blank Friend

No. 4 is getting there! I'm excited to be this far while being this busy.

Cars For The Next Background

This is not finished, but is evidence that I am working bit by bit.

Friend #3

Here is number 3! This drawing is a bit more expressive than realistic because I exaggerated her facial features a bit to heighten the expression.

Can everyone out there tell that she was a drama major in college?

Another Preview

Like I said, this has a very different feel than the last two. Be aware, and beware!

Couple More Tweaks On the Background

There are a couple more tweaks on the background needed before it is finished, but I will be starting on the figure this week.

Background Beginning

I may end up blurring this out a bit, but you can see how it looks as a crisp, clear image. I believe there will be more lights in the night sky to the right as well.

Friend #2

What a nice girl. Looking for sea glass for her mother-in-law.

Getting Closer!

Progress on Friend #2

One hand is almost finished...and the sand is almost finished. REMIND me NEVER to do sand again!

Friend #2 PREVIEW

Hey, I got quite a bit finished today. I still have a lot to do on it, but I thought I would put a teaser here. You can see the hat and legs need work. I also cropped in tightly because I liked the composition, but the background is not finished and she has no hands yet.

Enjoy so far!

Color Scheme

Here is the color scheme for my Friend Illustrator drawing #2. You can see it's a bit different than #1.

Friends Series: #1

I have decided I am going to do a series with friends as the subject matter. Here is the first. I'm still not sure what I'm doing with the background.

I (heart) Illustrator!
