"wrapped" process..the trials, the tribulations!



interesting to go through the design and layout process over and over and over again...sometimes it clicks, sometimes it doesn't...and then something sticks. Here is what went through about 3 days worth of thinking about "wrapped"! And in the previous post, is the finished illustration. Thanks for stopping by!

Wrapped - Illustration Friday


..kitty was also enticed by the smell wafting from within the newspaper-wrapped item. Can you tell what that might be?

** note..this was an exremely difficult illustration for me..I just couldn't for the life of me draw this one "right"...but many, many attempts later, this is what came of it. I'm happy that I tried. I'll be posting the other attempted sketches too...feedback is ALWAYS appreciated. Thanks for stopping by!

3: Scamper, shuffle-shuffle, "squeek!"...


...Piggy and Mouse decided that they should keep on walking as they knew that it wasn't just Bigsby, nor Chef Ramsey Rabbit that were making the little "shuffling" noises that they kept hearing along the tunnel's path. Eerily, they felt as though they were being watched by multiple sets of eyes down the dark windy bits. With the candle growing smaller, they turned to each other and nodded, "Yes, we will keep on!" they vowed, as they neared the damp turn to the right...
"OH! ..."oh!"..."oh!"...."oh!"...."oh!"..."oh!"..."oh!"..."oh!"..." exclaimed Mama Bun and her babies.
"Thank goodness it's just you, two! Mama squeeked, as baby after baby pounced and scampered in excitement. "Whew!", Piggy and Mouse both said with relief.

2: After satisfying their tastebuds with a braised carrot or two...


...Piggy and Mouse ventured further...only to hear the "slurp, slurp, slurp" ing, and satisfying "smack, smack" sound that was coming from baby Bigsby bear, who decided that a late night dip into the honey pot might satiate his grumbling tummy. "Ohh.....iss juss yooo... no mo honey...dis is all mine!...smack, slurp!"
