the S.S. HEARTBREAK


Here are two illustrations I did yesterday and today - the top one being my very first submission to Illustration Friday based off the word "sail." The bottom one was the first completed, but then I decided to go back in and make it somewhat more detailed, though I think I like the simple one better for some reason.

  4. It's a very beautiful illustration!

    I was reading your other post, about thinking about going back to school- and I wanted to encourage you to follow your dreams. Not sure exactly if you are looking to leave illustration behind in pursuit of a new career, but I have heard that masters degree program at UC Santa Cruz in Scientific Illustration is superb- and a field in high demand... that could be a nice way to integrate love of science with the love of arts. Also depending on what you want, you could get a Certificate in museum and gallery studies from various universities- I found out my senior year of college that I was only one course away from a certificate- wish I would have known sooner!

    Anyway, best of luck to you, I hope you don't mind, but I would like to add you to my list of illustrators on my blog :)

  6. Really enchanting. I feel for little Myles. Both styles are wonderful, but I think I prefer the top version, because it has more texture and depth. But really, they're both awesome in their own right.

  7. Both illos are great. I especially like the simplicity of the waves and the colours of the second one.

  11. These are great! I go back and forth between which I love more. They both have their strong points.

    Myles is in the same boat as a lot of us.
