Illustration Friday: "Suspend"


This illustration was done on some drawing paper I found that's as old as the inks I found last week!  I like the yellowed quality of it.  I used ballpoint pen and graphite for this.  They go well together I think!

  2. Adorable! I love the little shadow at the bottom...just creates such a realistic "lift" to this wonderful guy!

  5. Love it! Ballpoint pens and graphite do go well, thanks for reminding me - it's been years I did anything combining the two :)

  9. I really, really like this, Laurie. It has a vintage feel that adds to the charm...not that he isn't wonderfully charming on his own. Really well done!

  11. I love how you really get the feeling of weightlessness and the notion of a frozen moment in time. Beautiful.
