Doggerel Series: Week 3

Well, for two weeks I’ve been studying Mr. Bean and it’s been so worthwhile. This week I took up a brush and some ink, and began the difficult but enjoyable task of working towards a style that might suit the illustrations for ”There Lives In A Little Wood”. I call this series of drawings JOY because that’s what I’ve tried to capture in these illustrations: the joyful, exuberant, sly, crazy, and stubborn nature of Dachshunds in general, and of Mr. Bean in particular. If there is a particular style that suits your fancy, let me know. Comments welcome and helpful!!!

    I agree, #4 has a classic kiddie book feel to it. This has been a really cool series, Thanks for sharing with everyone.

    I like the last two best.

  4. Rachel Says:

    I like the first and the last the best. The last is really cute with the black as the main color with the white highlight accents.

    It’s funny, #4 was the one I wasn’t so sure about at first but it’s become my favorite… I always end up liking the thing that’s outside of my comfort zone the most in the long run! Thanks everyone for your feedback!
