Illustration Friday: Breakfast

Sometimes I rather sleep than eat.

Chill Out

This year there had been some serious major heatwaves across the country. I couldn't sleep last night. So what did I do the whole night until dawn? I whip out my Wacom tablet and drew a dog portrait. While the little Pug takes in some cold comfort, I'm taking in a little inspiration from the hot weather.

The Lucky Cat from Japan

I found the cutest cat photo on a Japanese website. What an expression he had. I knew I had to draw him. I named him Neko-unchi and everything about the illustration is inspired by the Japanese pop culture.
FYI: The name for the lucky cat in Japanese is Maneki Neko.

I wonder what kitty is up to?

I'm happy to see my coordination is getting better with the Wacom tablet. As I illustrate this piece, I was thinking about Alfred Hitchcock. Therefore, it's a little bit more sinister than what I normally do. Maybe next time, I'll think about the Three Stooges. :p

A Battle of Cats and Dogs

My first attempt at a comic strip. It's harder than I thought. You actually have to write something. :p

The Terrier from Boston

Poodle Doddle

I tried out my Wacom on Photoshop again.

Pet Portrait

I love my new gift. I got a Wacom tablet for Christmas. It's like learning to draw all over again. The hand eye monitor coordination is a little tough for me but I'm slowly adjusting to it. It's like drawing without looking down at your paper. However, I managed to draw a dog portrait in Photoshop with the Wacom tablet. The image was inspired from a photo called "Eliana" by Rosemarie Trockel. I thought the photo was intriguing and I want to capture the essense and expression of the dog with minimal line and color.
