Cat-Dog Doodles

Cat.

Dog.
Behind the wheel for this week's Illustration Friday theme.

Funny thing, this one. My Ridgeback, Rufus, LOVED to go bye-bye in the car. The day he died we spent the morning hours, before he crossed over, just driving.  I bought him chicken nuggets.
I miss him very much.

But as I doodled this sketch the brain started to stretch and it gave me a funny PB idea...let's see where this one takes us.

IF: Wings

I remain mum on the topic...of Cupid & Valentines...not wings. Those are pretty cool. I wouldn't mind a pair or two, well glued, and not capable of carrying me too close to the sun.

IF: Myth



Moose are mythical. No??? Well, they bugle like a Beluga and can be heard from six miles away. That's epic, in my book. Plus, they are fun to draw.
It's a myth that this drawing thing is easy, especially when one tries to distill complex creatures down to their simplest shapes.  Especially Jackalopes!!!!!!!  


But I've logged another 5-7 hours towards my 10,000 hour goal.
Happy creating!

IF: Ocean




One of my goals for 2013 is to sketch daily.  I also want to participate more often with Illustration Friday. So, each week my daily sketches will revolve around the IF theme.  I sense that there is an ocean of possibility in this method.

IF - Shy

Macchiato Maurice © Jenn Bower. All Rights Reserved.

Maurice was never SHY about ordering his Venti Macchiato, until he discovered it wasn't really pronounced (Mack-Chi-Ah-To).  Now he knew why the Barista never marked his caffe with a milky heart but, rather, a tiny little fig leaf.
