![]() Melissa Etheridge Created for Illustration Friday, the word of the week was 'Similar' and the first thought that ran through my mind was her song "Similar Features". I needed some practice drawing people anyway so I thought 'Why not go with it?' Illustration Friday is great because it provides insentive to exercise artistic skills but it also provides oppertunity to think up creative solutions. ![]() ![]() |

![]() Experimental Mark Making Toothbrush Ducks It's neet to see what you can mak when you relinquish control. These were rendered with an old tooth brush dipped in in india ink. Ok, I'm a colntrol freak. I added a few more feathery loops with my quill pen. These drawings inspired the cover art for a cook book. ![]() |

Composition Experiment: This series of images demonstrates assorted compostions: random, centered, diagonal, assymetrical... To make the assignment feel like a cohesive project I chose to illustrate the poem "Sing a Song of Six Pence". I was also influences by the writings of Wilber Smith and his stories about big game poaching in Africa.

| How
to Fasten a Garter Belt The assignment was to generate a series of illustrations that demonstrated "how to" do something. I opted for something a little more risque as opposed to the usual: how to cook KD, how to tie a shoe, how to do origami. I liked the graphic shapes in this series. It was rendered with ink. The pattern of the stockings were created by photocopying stretch lace. |
