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.

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.

Make It in Design - Module 1 2016

Hello! It's been AGES since I posted. It has been a busy time and I decided to take some time to develop my portfolio, invest in my professional development and generally get a bit organised. I have just finished ABSPD Module 1, in which I have begun the journey of developing my characters and illustrations into surface pattern designs. The course is simply a MUST if you are considering a career in design. I can't recommend it highly enough. I will write in more detail later, but for now here is my piece for the typography competition that was open to module 1 alumni. I create character-led illustrations primarily for the greeting card and children's markets so my quirky character I drew for this piece compliments my style. I learnt how to layer up my work and create pattern repeats using Photoshop. Here's a link to the Make It In Design website www.makeitindesign.com
