Illustration Friday: Clutter


Sorry for the ugly copyright notice, but I've found this image stolen & used on several blogs without my permission. I know it is old art, and I shouldn't care, but it irritates me when people don't respect an artist's work. Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it is free to steal.

Baking cupcakes with mom is a lot of fun, but it does cause quite a bit of clutter all over the kitchen countertop. :)

I'm not yet sure where I want to go with the colors, so I'm posting a work in progress sketch somewhat colored in photoshop to squeak in before the IF deadline. I need to work more on a final technique, but I've also been working on making progress with my drawing skills. I've been feeling the need to step it up to make my children's illustration portfolio stronger.

Hehe.. I was pretty late this week too.

It's nice to see all of the detail in the utensils and packaging. It looks great so far!

I like the way this looks as is. I like the idea of a limited color palette, and lack of color in many of the details draws the focus to the mother and daughter. And as far as your drawing skills, you have a unique style that works well!

How sweet is this Clutter illustration. I'm a pink girl and anything that has the color pink in it is alright with me. This is really great work.

I like your illo just as it is. I like that unfinished look. :) And the colours are very nice.

Well, I'll tell ya, Tom pretty much said it all. I agree with him completely. You have a very wonderful and well defined style, what ever you do to develop it further will just be icing on the cake!!
