'launch' - illustration friday


Everyone needs a bit of encouragement launching from the nest, but it gives you the space to spread your wings.

I can't wait to get my own nest with space! 22 and no money for a place of my own, I'm sure I'm not alone either with that one...

Anyway this is my entry for this weeks IF, it's a contour drawing (which I love doing at the moment, creates some really interesting lines and shapes) and a different approach to composition for me too. Let me know what you think!

  1. Love it :-) Can you explain the idea of a contour drawing to me? Affording your own place is hard,well practically impossible to buy and renting isn't cheap either.I'd say stick at your folks for as long as poss you'll have more art time! Have a good day xx

  6. thanks for the lovely comments :) a contour drawing is basically one continuous line, so you draw without taking your pen off the paper. it makes you draw quickly and creates really strong and bold lines, give it a go if you've never done it you'd be surprised at the outcome! x
