SCARY - Illustration Friday Topic

http://www.fiandme.co.uk/

Help! This little elephant didn't invite any mice to the fancy dress party!

This week's topic for Illustration Friday is aptly, SCARY!!!

I thought I would mix the halloween theme with something that I find scary...MICE. They just move so quickly! I can't believe I had a hamster for 3 years when I was younger. Any kind of rodent freaks me out nowadays!

I've just done a quick sketch and tidied it up in Photoshop.

Enjoy x

Isn't it strange how things that didn't bother us when we were younger are totally different now? I used to seriously love roller coasters and though I will still go on them, I stand in line staring up at them and freaking out.

Very cute picture! Not sure scary, except perhaps to the elephant. :)

Love this one Fiona. So simple but effective! I had a look at your other blog Fi and Me too - lovely work, and nice that you are doing it as sisters.
Is that you, steampunk Cindy?! We must stop meeting like this! I went on a historic rollercoaster at Santa Cruz recently. It was the longest minute of my life.

Pencil Themed Blog Design

So, I'm thinking of having a little re-vamp of my blog to focus more in-depth on drawing...and not just my own. Here are some ideas for a new banner and a cute little pencil character. Let's call her Penny for now! Any comments and feedback welcome xx fionaillustrates.com fiandme.co.uk All images are copyright fiona meakin illustrations 2012, all rights reserved.

Illustration Friday - Safari

This little giraffe is a sketch for a character idea, from a story I'm working on, and this week's topic (IF) has kick started this project again for me. I like to do rough drawings and block-colour them in photoshop to give me an idea of how to develop the picture further. For me, this is an efficient way of sketching on the computer if I want to get ideas down quickly.
