Illustration Friday: 'Moustache'

Added on October 17, 2013 by ellapointe.

This weeks illustration Friday's challenge was the word Moustache. Surprisingly, upon visiting IF, I saw that my first few ideas were already executed and submitted by other artists. It's funny to realize how we are all sourcing from the same pool of inspiration (and no, I don't mean the internet)… Anyway, here's what I finally came up with: a watercolor illustration of trying to come up with an idea- sometimes the answer is right under your nose...

Illustration Friday: 'Underwater'

Added on October 10, 2013 by ellapointe.

This week's Illustration Friday word was "Underwater". I didn't have a lot of extra time this week so, going against my natural tendency to overcomplicate things, I went with a simple fish motif. Here's the little watercolor piece that I made. It is inspired by what it is like to look down into a fish bowl, seeing the movement of the water and the fish.

For the Week from September 27th till October 4th the Illustration Friday Challenge was the word "Onomatopoeia". I was inspired by one of my favorite songs from childhood: "Puff the magic dragon". Here's what I came up with for "Puff". If you are unfamiliar with "illustration Friday" it's a wonderful weekly challenge for illustrators of all skill levels (also kids). I've participated twice so far. Here's a link to that fun website: http://illustrationfriday.com
