Feather and Life





Summer vacation has been pretty relaxing and chill, and I've barely had the time to draw which is driving me insane. I was sitting in my room kinda upset with how people are nowadays and looked up at this feather that is hanging on my wall with dream catchers and more feathers. I must have been no more than 88 years old when I got this feather. I was swimming in the Susquehanna River with my uncle and sister. My uncle is so easy going and into nature, it's just perfect to be around. I saw this duck and really wanted a feather when I saw how when they swim or fly away they fall out. I continued yelling "I WANT A FEATHER, I WANT A FEATHER!" which unfortunately scared all the ducks away. When we were done swimming there was this man sitting at the edge of the water putting this wax covered string on the end of this beautiful white and deep amber color. He was this older man with white hair and laugh lines and wrinkles. This man made my day and I plan on keeping this feather for life just because he was such a kind man and only 9 years later, that is so hard to find. In the year 2012 we have to worry about taking things from strangers out of fear they might have put an airborne drug on it. Which is the exact thing that makes me not able to stand society.

Faded.

I am still working on this iFri of faded. I had all these ideas of how to edit it with both photoshop and illustrator but going through with the process is a lot more trying than I thought it would be. My idea for faded was when you have really old cut off jeans and they are destroyed and discolored from prior use. I will be returning to this as much as I can.

This is my second version. I definitely like this a lot more. The top view just sort of looks like the shorts im wearing now.

iFri; Sight

What I did for Illustration Friday this week was binoculars. I'm still not done my editing with Adobe photoshop, but I originally just did a sketch of it.

iFri; Kernel.


For the word "Kernel" there isn't much you can do that doesn't involve popcorn. So I did the actual kernel popping into the popcorn. I used pencil and colored pencil and redid the type in Adobe Photoshop to make it go with the theme of popcorn more.
