So, just some fun and playfulness. I was taking a little break on my projects and playing around in painter 12 and photoshop. I rarely find time to post for Illustration Friday lately, so its nice when I can find time to do one. Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments :) Hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW This is sooooooo beautiful. You should make this your Christmas card and I want one. Hehehehhee!!!! So beautiful. How are you?
Thank you Bella! I love it that you say "flippin" I do too and my kids laugh at me ;) I also love that you still have your MO cause I haven't redone my avatar yet.
Ces, I'm fine, how are you lovely lady? I'm so excited about my print!!!
Hey! I cannot get used to you with a moostache! :) Well this is fun, cute, smiley face joyful, the snow technique works perfectly and gives us a surprise when we look closer , and I like how you have taken the same characters and drawn them in different positions angles and perspectives - and it leads the eye around so well, but we stop and admire each one before going on.
Where you taking pictures of me on the ice???? Oh my goodness how precious. I didn't look at precious as he though. Ice skating is not for me I guess. Hey you didn't win a print or a cook book, but you get me and all my love he he he he he!!! I love you darling and wishing you a wonderful day today and everyday. V
Hey! That one with the green hat looks like ME on ice! Hahaha...this is adorable and fun, Karen! Nice to see you out for IF... I hope you're well and happy. :) oxx
