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!
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!
This is so light-hearted and fun! It is the quintessential "suspend!" So well done, Laurie!
ReplyDelete(and I just love his striped hat!)
Adorable! I love the little shadow at the bottom...just creates such a realistic "lift" to this wonderful guy!
ReplyDeleteI too love the "lightness" of this.. and those two tone shoes. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThey sure do go well together! I love the details in the clothes and the whimsical look on this fellow's face.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Ballpoint pens and graphite do go well, thanks for reminding me - it's been years I did anything combining the two :)

ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteOh how *FUN*! He is such a sweet fellow! I love how his hat and shoes kind of echo the same shape. Well done! But then again, I love ALL your work!
ReplyDeleteI love how you really get the feeling of weightlessness and the notion of a frozen moment in time. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOH, this is wonderful, Laurie!! The feeling I get from it lifts me. I love your style!
