I drew this about a year ago as part of a book project I did at Central St.Martins. It was only a short illustration course but I really enjoyed it, and it fell right in the colder and darker months of London so a perfect time for drawing. I'm not as inspired to draw in summer, it's too nice to be in our little loft, which accumulates heat all day long. I do like this picture though, it's loosely based on Papa Bear (from the waist up – he would never wear skinny jeans!) so I dug it out to develop it further. Maybe with colour? Maybe I could add myself? Or maybe it will sit on the table for a week before I put it away again. I guess that would be ok, too.
I am now totes stalking your blog (!), love your illo. How inspiring. Go forth and conquer, you can do no wrong.
ReplyDeletei LOVE this!!! it gave me the biggest grin. maybe you could do a second drawing showing what this papa bear fellow is looking at - which could be you! and they could sit side by side like the cute little pair you are.
ReplyDeletealso a huge congrats on all of your wedding exposure. so deserved. your wedding is by far my fav, even from looking at other wedding blogs i keep coming back to yours - perhaps its the australian simplicity and casual nature that appeals. anyway your day rocked! you two are adorable and i cant wait to meet baby rummy bear. hope all is well : )
