Illustration Friday: Stitch
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008 
When my husband saw my sketches for this week’s Illustration Friday topic, he thought they were kind of creepy, but even he admitted the finished product was cute. Although I always seem to pull back from total cuteness overload anyway. Click image to enlarge.
I broke out the brush pen again for this one, though I used the Microns for a lot of shading and the little details. And the buttons. I am so out of practice with the brush these days that small circles are just right out of the question; the spool of thread came out ok but it’s a bit wobbly from the brush getting away from me. Very quick coloring job, especially on the background. I used to have no problem with drawing figures with no background at all, but these days I need to put a little something back there. I’m still figuring out the best way to do that without spending forever on it!
