Illustration Friday - Rain

Here's my Illustration friday entry for the topic, "Rain".

I had fun with Bubble last time, that I thought I'd follow the same thread.
I've been super mega busy with my freelance career lately, that I haven't been able to post very much.

Bubble Girl

Here's my homage to bubble tea. I did another illustration a few years ago, after I went to the Chinese section of Philadelphia and had some very tasty Bubble tea. At the time, I was barely acquainted with Illustrator, so it took me forever to do it. I liked the character, and I thought it would be fun to go back and do another illo with the Bubble girl.

here's the original:

Tattoo 2

So I finished the girl.
I thought it would be good to go for a totally different color scheme than the guy.
Let me know what you think.

Sunday sketches

These are some sketches I did during church. My church is a noisy place that has praise and worship (music) that lasts for hours. I think it's a great environment to draw.

Illustration Friday - Tattoo

Here's today's illo friday dealeo... tattoo.
I sketched out a more full illustration concept, but I had waaaay too much work to do today so I only did half of it. I had to do like 80 bazillion illustrations for a client in the UK.

Here's the sketch-- I am hoping to add the girl eventually.
This is also a departure from my usual heavy black line technique. I thought I'd try to construct the whole thing in illustrator with the pen tool, etc, whereas I usually do a black line drawing on paper, and scan it and vectorize it (with Adobe Streamline) and edit and go from there.

blah blah ba blahblah blaaaaaah.
Good day sir.
I SAID, GOOD DAY!
