Illustration Friday: "Play"



This is a character I came up with years ago for a story series, and haven't really touched or done anything with until recently. Her name is Babyblue.

Thank you everyone. This was fun to dust off. I would like to explore this character more and finish off the stories I started so long ago. -One of my many unfinished projects. :)

Sweet Pea,
Yes I shall try!

Thanks Malin, I agree. - I always love the rough sketches more than the final.

Anon, I know who you are, you weasel-lover. Maybe I'll draw her riding a bike too.

These are so cute. I especially like the one sitting down with her head cocked. Just precious. This is why I have always fantasized about having my own miniature pet elephant.

Nice drawings. It reminds me of a character I came up with years ago named Babyblue Beard. He was a little blue elephant pirate wit a patch over his eye that pillaged and plundered.

Nicolette Davenport said...

thanks guys; Cindy, you and me both.

Anon, are you my conscience?
