An octopus week on "Illustration friday"

365 Days of Type

Last week I decided to get involved in a project of Sabrina Smelko "365 Days of Type"
I choose number 271 and draw an illustration on it.
Here it is.

Horse and rain

Yesterday I draw this little horse with watercolor and ink.

It was raining week so we can't play outside a lot. So we played together, read a lot of books and draw together.

But the most wonderful thing about rain are puddles. So after rain Martha jumped in every puddle on her way :-)

By the way, my instagram is mahasitha
Feel free to follow :-)

Upside down book

New pages of my Upside down book:

Sleeping hare

I decide to repaint some of my illustrations into watercolor paintings for children room.
My first "Sleeping hare" I gave as present for my little niece.
With that frame it looks nice, isn't it? ;-)

Spring

Next pages of an endless book

Illustraion about Nina

Since I've finished "Mathematics for kids", I'm working on my children illustrator portfolio.

I found an amazing Ukrainian children poet, who lived in the middle of  XX.

His poems are funny and edifying.

Here is one about one disorderly girl named Nina.

She wanted to sew something, but lost her needle.

But when she found her needle, she sow that now she lost her thread.

I think this poem is about me :-)

I draw two version of illustration. And don't know what is better.

An endless book

In beginning of the year I've start a new project.

Here is site of the project http://endless-book.floaty.de/

And Flickr community http://www.flickr.com/groups/endless_book/pool/with/12498409325/

During whole year every week I will draw one page of an endless book.

The main condition is that first page flows into the next.

And after one year I will have 52 pages of Japanese horizontal emakimono book.

Here is pages 1 and 2

 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Snail the Traveler :-)

Meet our new friend Snail the Traveler.

I draw him for Martha and she loves him :-)

After I finish "Math for kids" I'll draw the whole story about his adventures. :-)

  

Sleeping hare

Goodbye summer

Yesterday there was snowing here in Kyiv. Winter is coming :)
So I'm showing my last drawings from our Black Sea trip.
I have some photos too, but I didn't scan them yet.

Pears

Yesterday in studio I planed to draw some objects with indian ink, but someone bring pears. So I desided to draw them in my favorite mixed watercolor-ink technic.

May be they are too bright and strange, but I like them :-)
