<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wanted to share this illustration I did awhile ago. My mom is on the board of directors of my hometown <a href="http://www.bgca.org/Pages/ToolsforBacktoSchool.aspx">Boys and Girls Club</a>, and I was lucky enough to be chosen to illustrate for their fundraiser this year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My illustration was featured on the invitation, envelope, and a signed print was auctioned off at the event as well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They are going to have a new artist every year which I think is a great idea, and fun for the artists in the community to participate in such a great cause. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This week's </span><a href="http://illustrationfriday.com/" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Illustration Friday</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> topic is "lonely." The mermaid idea just came to me. Maybe she's the last of the mermaids and wishes she could join the people on the boat :0) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With some help from commenters, I realized that I sometimes have a tendency to include too much of the background scene which takes away from the focus of the painting. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here is a more tightly cropped version of the painting:</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This week's <a href="http://illustrationfriday.com/">Illustration Friday</a> topic is "carry." I had a bunch of thoughts for this one, I went with the teacups because stacked teacups always seem beautiful to me. The bird idea came to me as I was painting. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I did two things with this digital painting that make me uncomfortable, I included a person and went with a more "naive" style than a realistic one. I also played around a bit more with my digital techniques. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Overall I like the whimsical quality of this one, and I'm glad I went outside of my own boundaries. I just have to remember that I'm not going to get better without practicing drawing people (duh!) and I should get over it not looking "perfect." </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My boyfriend and I are moving into a new place soon, and I've been picking out paint colors for the walls. I went to school for and worked as an interior designer so I'm not a stranger to picking paint colors, but it's definitely still a fun process! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was inspired to do the above illustration by the prospect of painting the walls. It's been awhile since I did a digital illustration. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm going to try to work mostly digitally for the next couple weeks to try to get in some practice. I'm still working on getting a more natural/less digital look.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had one of those weeks were I didn't have a lot of creative mojo going on (as you can see I only have two pictures worth sharing). I had ideas for illustrations/projects, but didn't have the passion or energy to create them. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't think it's possible to create things all of the time, and after a week of recharging I feel inspired and better about what next week will bring. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Haha I'm finally back in action for <a href="http://illustrationfriday.com/">Illustration Friday</a>! This week's topic is "suspend." I was brainstorming hanging things and ended up thinking of a yoyo. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was also good opportunity to practice painting a hand/skin tones. I think this is the second time ever I've attempted skin in watercolor and it was just as hard as I thought it was going to be.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I think my lighter color is okay but the darker area looks a little too brown. Anyone have tips for getting a good skin tone? </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I didn't get much painting done while I was gone (in Monterey and then Colorado), but I did spend the afternoon I was in Monterey painting my view. I used my travel watercolor brushes and my <a href="http://paperharbor.blogspot.com/2012/05/monsieur-notebook-review.html">Monsieur Notebook</a> (which can't handle really wet washes by the way). </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was challenging to capture the different kind of textures and greens going on. I think I need to do more nature painting :0) </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm having a nightmare trying to get the internet hooked up in my art studio, but will try to keep up with my posting in the mean time. </span><br />

I'm still getting settled in the art studio and getting ready for a trip next week. I'll try to do a post here and there while I'm away and then be back in full force after that.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This week's Illustration Friday topic is "shiny." I thought of shiny hair and blowing bubbles so I decided to incorporate both ideas. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was my first time really attempting to do hair since I've gotten better at painting. It wasn't as hard as I built it up in my mind. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the other hand, the bubbles were a lot harder to capture than I thought they would be. I did many practice ones before doing them for real and they still don't quite have that shiny feeling I wanted. I think it might be something that is easier to capture in another medium, like digital. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At the end of the day, I'm pretty darn happy with this one. I hope you like it too! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are some of the Instagrams I took this week. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The last picture is the book I wanted for my birthday <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Drawing-Head-Hands-Andrew-Loomis/dp/0670283851">"Drawing the Head and Hands"</a> and my sketches as I try to work through it. Im only a little ways into it and still need a lot of practice before I get the hang of the basic head structure. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope you have a fantastic weekend! I hope to get a lot of creative stuff done. </span>Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07021320445092554039noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157508074512601042.post-68024010069030199602012-06-07T14:00:00.000-07:002012-06-07T14:00:18.308-07:00Illustration Friday - Hurry!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This week's Illustration Friday topic is "Hurry!" </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I thought of watching an hourglass and hoping that the time would go faster. Sometimes the things you want in life are slow in coming to you (jobs, promotions, love, etc) and you just wanna yell hurry up all ready :0) </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope you can see that idea in the illustration. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have a great one! </span>Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07021320445092554039noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157508074512601042.post-62582078282769577052012-06-06T16:23:00.000-07:002012-06-06T16:23:09.162-07:00Weekly Planner Printable<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In my blog stats I see that a lot of people are searching for cute printable weekly planners. I also searched for cute planners previously and came up empty handed before I made <a href="http://paperharbor.blogspot.com/2012/03/weekly-planner-free-printable.html">this one</a>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I made a new one that is a bit more summery, and has room for a "at some point" box. Sometimes I don't want to add too many things to do on one day, so I'll put it in the "at some point" box and then feel good when I've got something "extra" done off that list. </span></div>

This weeks <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com/">Illustration Friday</a> topic is "faded."</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
My first thought when I thought of faded was ombré (cause I like it so much) and because today's my birthday I decided to paint myself an ombré cake. <a href="http://www.eddieross.com/eddie_ross/2012/02/pink-ombre-cake.html">Here</a> are some instructions in case you'd like to actually bake one.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I brought my new journal to the park yesterday and did a plein air watercolor painting of St. Patricks Church in San Francisco. It was a great day for it, and there were lots of people laying in the grass enjoying the sunshine. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've always wanted to do more public sketches or paintings, but felt self conscious about it. A couple of blog posts* I've read lately encouraged me to give it a try. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At first I felt weird and tried to hide my drawing when people walked by, but when I started painting I couldn't do that and I started to feel more comfortable. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I sketched out some strawberries I was eating to test the paper. I was pleasantly surprised that the paper can take a light watercolor wash. It's a beautiful, slightly textured paper so I thought it might wrinkle with the watercolor but it held up nicely (although I don't think it could handle a lot of water). </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was using my Faber Castell pens and you could see some of the lines on the other side of the paper, but not enough to be very bothersome. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The leather cover is very nice, the engraving is beautiful and it seems like the journal will hold up for forever (which is good cause my purse destroys things haha). The cover is so soft that I can't keep from touching it when it's nearby. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Final consensus: I really love this sketch book and will probably buy another one when I am done with this one. Thanks Monsieur Notebook!* </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I typically spend too much time on minute details that aren't very important to the picture over all and I need to work on that. </span></div>
