He loves me, he loves me not.
This is a page from my sketchbook with my ideas for this week's theme 'Subtract'. I had wanted to choose just one and work it up in watercolour but couldn't make up my mind which one to go with and being a bit late in posting this week, decided to just outline the drawings in ink and 'quickly' add colour with pencils. I should have known better - it probably took four times as long as one little watercolour would have!! Click to enlarge the image.
These are delightful drawings! Love the quickness and tumble-around motion of them.
ReplyDeleteBut it was worth it because it tells a great little story. And the technique is charming.
ReplyDeleteObrigado, adorei seus trabalhos também!
ReplyDeleteThanks, your works very nice!
I'm glad you put in all four they are adorable.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Love all the different poses.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sense of time elapsing conveyed by many poses :)
ReplyDeleteI love the quick-sketch feel to these. They're spontaneous without being chaotic. And cute too!
ReplyDeleteThis is an endearing picture. Though I see shades of Beatrix Potter here, this is very original. Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, Absolutely cute !
ReplyDeleteDefinitely worth the extra effort...the sequence tells such a charming story!
ReplyDeleteDelightful. I like the series.

ReplyDeleteWhat an enchanting series of illustrations. Love the subject ....and your style!
ReplyDeleteWorks great with the multiple poses. Like others have said, it shows the story's progression!
ReplyDeletei love them soooo much!
ReplyDeleteArgggghh! I cannot take the suspense. So, does he love me or love me not???
ReplyDeleteSuper adorable! Your "quick sketches" are better than some finished pieces I've seen in books. :)
Oh no! I'm glad you shared them all! They're so cute and I think they all go together so well. It wouldn't have been the same with just one image, it's like you see the little guy playing, almost like a cartoon. Good job!

ReplyDeleteJust so sweet and delicate!
ReplyDeleteLove them!
Aaw... wonderful! So nice illustration :)
