There have been some major changes in the Corpus household in the last month. We’ve gone from being the Corpus 4 to the Corpus 5! With the addition of a baby in home, I have less time and creative energy for drawing and painting. But I’d like to get back on track with my illustration a week challenge. (I’ve forgiven myself and moved on for the fact the fact that I’ve missed like 6 weeks)
So to jump start the creative juices, I scrolled through the Illustration Friday “Sweet” Illustrations and picked 10 that really jumped out at me.
Yuliia Bahniuk. I love the watermelon. My hometown has a watermelon festival every year at the end of June. I have watermelon on the mind. I need to learn from her on shading. Her illustrations are so sweet.
Patrick Girouard I don’t blame the boy. I want a donut that size too! I like that Patrick’s profile information says “None of your beeswax”. tee hee
Maria Levezzi Oh. I do love her style. I like how the chairs have fat bodies and little legs. The view of the trees is delightful. 🙂
Shelini Vadivelu The roundness of the mouses belly! just love. I really like the lines on the mouse.
Kerry Drumm has such an interesting style. Very diverse subjects and just so amazing. I could learn a lot from studying her work.
Nancy Bajer I want to grow some cupcakes!! beautiful.
Marlene Martins Very clever!!
Very cheri Really like this one!
MamaZombie. This is so fun.
James Taylor is simply amazing. way outta my league. I look on with awe.
Have you read any of M M Socks‘ poetry? If not, you SHOULD! So fun. So clever. And every single time I read one of his poems, I want to draw! Because I can just see myself, sitting down and reading them to my children and colorful pictures just add to the experience.
When I read Run, Kelton. Run! I knew I wanted to illustrate it. At least 4 or 5 drawings are needed. Here is drawing number one.
Did you know Kelton was not human? Nevertheless, he deals with the problem that many human youngsters face. He didn’t get out of bed fast enough this morning. And now he is frantic…
It was a quick sketch for a friend. I’m still finding my style. and I don’t have it yet.
Wild didn’t turn out like I wanted it to, and this one looked much cuter in my mind. so….I guess that is what creating is about. We learn and develop the skill.
So last week I was a bit slow. I did the sketch but didn’t get around to coloring it until today. I was sick and had a flat tire and lost my dog and it was after he ate my homework and … you get the picture.
Did you know that lady bugs lay eggs?

Posting pictures I’m not thrilled with but that is okay. still keeping up with the challenge.
I really love the quirkiness of Lyle Lovett’s song, “If I had a boat”. It is just so fun to me. That was the inspiration for this one.
You can listen to it here on youtube. 🙂
used gimp instead of ps. free trial of ps cs6 ran out.. 😦 So this was my first attempt using gimp 2.8. the new version. I read reviews that it is just as good…but…dunno. It takes a while to learn the little differences. and I’m not a pro a ps. So I am way out of my league. also it was hurried and not quite finished. but it is friday and time’s up!
I tried to stick to one color palette, what do you think? Is it better to stick to the same colors?
