Pool time!

The days are definitely getting warmer over here and it just seems appropriate that I should have finished this drawing that had been put aside for quite a long time now. I started this sketch in June, which is our winter. I must have been suffering from cabin fever and couldn't wait for some warmth to come over this way.

What am I most happy with in this illustration? Well, it would have to be the lace. I think that's one of the things that took me the most time to do. Once again, I must thank my wonderful model who puts up with my demands even though she may find herself in awkward and uncomfortable positions.

Thanks GG!

The Professor

The first of two cards that I will make to illustrate an article on the MacDiarmid Institute website that talks about the efforts of bringing together the scientific world with the business world in New Zealand. The New Zealand government is promoting the commercialization of science and has set in motion several programmes in order to achieve this.

Spring Fairy

 

Practicing with some brushes, trying to get a watercolor effect. The end result is quite nice although didn't quite obtain the effect I was after. Definitely need more practice. I do like the tones of the skin though, nice and peachy! It's spring finally and a fairy seemed like a good idea to draw :)
