This is for Illustration Friday.  Topic = "Total".  I went with "total eclipse".  I did this on the computer using ArtRage2 and my new Wacom Graphire 6×8 tablet.  Illustration Friday link viewer for current topic, here.   Illustration Friday archive of topics, here.

I did a sketch for Illustration Friday’s "Hide" theme.  I have a photo of this somewhere in my photo trunk.  I dind’t feel like looking for it, so I did this sketch from memory.  My cat Sasha had crawled into a Record Bar bag, it’s a flat paper bag so when she got inside it the bag took this odd shape and ALL you could see of her was her eye!  It’s such a cute photo if I can ever find it.  I took it w/ a film SLR and if I remember right, the only thing in focus in the photo was her eye, very cool.    I did this in my Moleskine.

For Illustration Friday’s "Communication" Challenge, a sketch of my Nokia N80 camera phone. Besides the obvious call-making, I text A LOT and moblog as well using the camera phone, photo editor, and internet on the phone.  Drawn w/ pencil in my Moleskine.

I emailed the list of EDM challenges to my phone… and also the latest Illustration Friday theme… so that I’d have the list anywhere I go.

This is late, but I wanted to do it anyway.  Illustration Friday’s "Sprout" challenge.

I did it first in colored pencil but I am never happy w/ my colored pencil work.  I see patches of color, and so I draw patches of color, and then it looks like awful patchy patches of color.  So, when I was done, I did a "quick sketch" of what I was drawing, in like 2 minutes, just so I’d feel better.  These are camera-phone images for now, I’ll scan them in tomorrow because my computer is doing something intensive now and I don’t want to "push" it right now (don’t want computer to freeze up).  Gee, I wish I had a macbook pro. 

For Illustration Friday. Challenge = "Red".  2007, not "06". EDITED TO ADD 2/1/07, I am currently working on making this sketch better, improving the coloring with  better colored pencils.
