Illustration Friday: Strings

Pen and Ink

Pastel

Here are a couple of quick drawings I did for this week's theme "Strings". The first one was a pen and ink sketch and the second was done with chalk pastels. I wish I could have spent a little more time and developed one drawing fully.

My students were doing tessellations this week and it inspired me to create this one for this week's Illustration Friday.

I often feel like the clutter around me towers over me and I will never be able to clean it all up!

Acrylic

I don't think I have done an Illustration Friday project since June. It has been a busy summer. This week's theme was "Detach". I went out jogging this morning and passed by these flowers with some petals and even a little flower had come detached after the rain.

Landscape

Seoul Landscape

Watercolor and colored pencil

I took an online teacher workshop through the Metropolitan Museum of Art this summer. The workshop focused on landscapes and I learned so much. One of our assignments required us to create a landscape that depicted our environment. I made a picture of Gyeongbokkung, a palace in downtown Seoul. It shows one of the things that I love about living here---seeing buildings that are hundreds of years old surrounded by modern skyscrapers.

Illustration Friday: Forgotten

Illustration Friday: Forgotten

Pen and Ink

This week's theme was "Forgotten". I drew images from the Korean War (1950-1953) which is often called "The Forgotten War". June 6 was Korean Memorial day so that is what I thought of when I saw the theme for the week.

Illustration Friday: Baby

Illustration Friday: Baby

Colored Pencil and Graphite Pencil

For this week's theme of "Baby", I thought about my children. No matter how old they are, they will always be my babies. First I drew a picture of them in graphite pencil when they were little (about seven and a half years ago). Then I drew a colored pencil picture of them from this year (they were so excited about their ice cream!). When both were done I cut them in strips and combined them into one picture. It is kind of bizarre, but I liked the effect.
