IlloFri: Adapt

(Click image to enlarge)
I did this drawing of Charles Darwin in PhotoShop some time ago. Since Darwin introduced Natural Selection, the process by which species adapt to changes in their environment over time, I decided to pull it out for this week's IlloFri.

IlloFri: Hierarchy

(Click image to enlarge)
I think this is the earliest I've ever put up a piece for Illustration Friday. It's only because I'm also doing Every Day in May, which is another art challenge to do something (a drawing, a painting, whatever) ever day for the Month of May. I'm going to see if I can fill an entire page in my Moleskine. Every day. In May.

I've started using the hashtag #illofri on Twitter because #illustrationfriday doesn't show up on search.twitter. It seems there is a character limit for hashtags, although I haven't been able to find any documentation to that verify it. I've just noticed that longer hashtags don't stick. If you use twitter, and you're doing the Illustration Friday thing, please consider using #illofri to announce your stuff. Or let me know if you're using something else. Also, follow me if you're so inclined: twitter.com/ThreePoint

Could you tell that the face at the bottom of the image is Arlen Specter? The mouth and eyes are more or less correct, but the shape of the face is a little too round.

IlloFri: Subtract

(Click image to enlarge)

Drew this one on the bus again. That's pretty much how I feel on the bus: like my brain has been subtracted from head. Pencil + a touch of color pencil + some PhotoShop tweaking. That's about all that I've got to say on this one.

Wonder what this week's word is going to be!

IlloFri: Legendary

(click to enlarge)

So what is it here that is legendary? Is it legendary globe trotting twitterer Stephen Fry? Or perhaps it is the notoriously legendary bon mot generating machine Oscar Wilde, played wonderfully by Fry in the adaptation of Richard Ellmann's biography. Or is it twitter itself, with it's legendary rise to sudden web app prominence? Or is it none of the above. Just the best idea that I could come up with and enjoyed doing. Got me.

Wish I had more time to work on the color, but it's Friday already and my time is running out. Time to post.

Oh, by the way, follow me on Twitter, if you like: ThreePoint is my art & webcomic twitter handle and EJagger is my elearning (day job) twitterself.

IlloFri: Celebrate

(click the image to enlarge)

Haven't had much time to do Illustration Friday since I started Trifles, but I scribbled this one on the bus and added some watercolor at home. I'm having a lot of fun working on an ongoing comic, but it's great fun to do something unfettered by the need of the continuing characters.

IlloFri: Sour

Click image to enlarge.
Ahhh, lemonade. A taste of summer. Actually, most lemonade-stand lemonade is too watery or too sweet for my taste, but watery doesn't really lend itself to slapstick facial expressions...and that's not the word of the week anyway. I really wanted to add a suburban street with tract houses in the background but ran out of time. Pencils and photoshop as usual. Although this time I used the flat color method to create selection areas as described by the incomparable James Jean.

IlloFri: Fierce

Click the image to enlarge.
A quick picture of Seymour Hersh, fierce defender of truth and, in my humble opinion, a true american patriot for this holiday Illustration Friday post. Drawn in my sketchbook, mostly on the bus, with very quick color in Photoshop.

First time ever

For probably the first time, in all the times i've done it, i know exactly the image i want to make for IFri. It hit me within 10 minutes of seeing the word. Ah, but when to do it. That is the question. After all, it's going to be a busy week.

IlloFri: Baby

Click image to enlarge.
Awwww. Is the big, mean gas pump making it hard fill up your Suburban? Got an owie in your wallet? Poor guy!

Suck it up, ya big baby. Take the bus. Get a hybrid. Telecommute. There are people in the world who are really suffering. Food prices are shooting through the roof for people who have been trying to feed their families on pennies a day. Your neighbors' kids are getting mutilated and killed in Iraq. We could be on the brink of an ecological meltdown and you're whining because it's going to cost a bit more to haul the Winnebago to your favorite fishing hole? Gimme a break.

Ok, ok. I know. Gas prices are tough on the already stretched middle class. I know it's hard on my family. Everyone I know is feeling the pinch. But really, let's get it in perspective.

IlloFri: Wide (not submitted)

click image to enlarge

Due to connectivity issues I wasn't able to upload this Thursday evening. Ah well. Not crazy about it anyway. Working with digital 'inking' in PhotoShop with the WACOM and am simply not getting the feel of if. Also, too tired to work out the colors so just went with the very muted almost monochromatic, quality. I do like glowing quality of the teeth and the jittery, multiple line.

IlloFri: Emergency!

Hey, waddya know! This is my 50th post and my 32nd Illustration Friday. I couldn't really think of anything very interesting for this weeks theme. I kept going back to that old TV show from the 70s which I was never a fan of. When in doubt, make it a robot. Words to live by.

Too busy this week - in more ways than one! Not only did I not get this beyond the rough sketch in my sketchbook, I didn't wasn't able to post it to IF. Oh well. There's always next week!

IlloFri: Twist

Click the image for a larger view.

Scribbly sketch from my sketchbook with some photoshop color. I got kind of stuck on this one and couldn't really think of anything original that interested me. So I went back to a twisted up couple kinda like my first IF entry. No ribbons on this one, although I was tempted.

Communication Sketch


I was trying to clean out my overstuffed harddrive to make room for more stuff and came across this, from my sketchbook. I was working on this for the Illustration Friday 'communication' theme, but I never finished and was busy on the thrusday before the upload page got switched so...

Anyway, here it is, as is.

IlloFri: Cars

(Click the image to see a larger version)
From my new sketchbook + color in Photoshop. I think the sudden appearance of big old pile of Calvin and Hobbes books in our home has had an influence on my drawing.

IlloFri: Hide

Back in the illofri saddle...sort of. Too much going on at work and home to do much more than a sketchbook doodle this week. Maybe more next time. Maybe!

I would like to have added more background detail and color to this one, but alas, the time ran short. So it will have to stand as is, for now.
