Illustration Friday: Prepare

He was prepared to enter the water, but he was not prepared to meet a new friend!

I had a lot of fun with this one, even in the initial sketch stage. I think that the only thing that would make this illio even better is a yellow duckie tube around the belly. It's tempting, but I'm not sure if I want to possibly mess up the illio for that.

The scanner is down for a couple of days, so I had to photograph it. I will post a scanned version of this once technology is back online...possibly with a duckie tube.

UPDATE: He has an inner-tube!

Illustration Friday: Grounded


He was grounded until the rains were over, but all he wanted to do is hop.

Just a quick little sketch. I drew the frog over the weekend and he just sat waiting for a story. I was thinking of creating a crowd of frogs, but the rain and lily pad won out.
