Illustration Friday: Modify

A world that could use a little modifying :)

Study of shape and color

I had so much fun making this quick studies of shape and color! They are hand drawn and digitally colored.
This is how some of them look printed and hung above my desk:

Eruption

I had a lot of fun drawing this little erupting volcano last night. I stayed up until wee hours in the morning sketching and coloring it.

Daily drawing.

Just a simple design made for fun/practice.

I'm growing some new ideas.

Too many bottles and one cracked vase

I like drawing simple shapes, like bottles and cups, it always relaxes me.
To me, drawing patterns and repetitive shapes is , in a way , a process similar to knitting or crocheting, it can be very relaxing but it also requires focus, planning and is a mental as well as physical activity. And in both activities you need to be constantly focused on the details while keeping the final creation in mind and I find that process mentally engaging yet relaxing at the same time.
Having said that, I actually don't knit or crochet but I do love sketching same shapes and patterns over and over again :-)

Boat parade

I was going thought my archives a few days ago and realized I have a lot of uncolored illustrations so I decided to finish them one by one and upload them. So you can expect more frequent posting, here, on three little cameras!

Robots like flowers

Well, at least this one does:


I started drawing this totally spontaneously. First I made some swirls and then realized I need shapes to contrast them and make the whole thing more interesting so I drew this simple robot. A robot who enjoys flowers :)

A lighthouse, sea and some fish

Here are a couple of maritime doodles I did recently, inspired by Summer and sea. Or, better said inspired by thinking of nice, warm Summer days as opposed to stormy, humid and gray weather we've been having, here, in Croatia over the past week or so.
