Illustration Friday: spooky

This isn't spooky at all:

(felt pens on paper)

It does however have the cutest pumpkin I've ever drawn :)


(I wanted to use this word for another illustration project, but IF came along and swooped it up. You guys are like mindreaders.)

Another WIP

Yet another WIP. Good grief, this painting seems to be taking forever to finish:

I didn't want to post this until it was done, but right now I've lost the enthusiasm to continue and finish it. I stopped painting this about a month ago and there's still a lot of stuff that needs to be done to it, most notably "make it look less crap". So, I'm hoping that by posting it here and seeing it on my blog as an unfinished mess that it'll encourage me to pick up a brush and finally finish it off :)

Illustration Friday: beneath

What lies beneath the surface?

(soft pastel on paper, A3)

Sometimes you don't see a person's true colours until you least expect it. I know this from recent experience. To switch into two-faced manipulative mode at my weakest moment was really low.

And so to you, who ended up being an annoying thorn in my side, whose words and actions made me wish I never knew you, this is dedicated to you.

(I didn't mean for this 'rant' to come across like some kind of justification for my picture - I usually prefer the picture to speak for itself - but, like I've said before, inspiration can sometimes come from the weirdest of places)
