Illustration Friday-ALONE

.
I had several ideas for this but opted out for the simplest (and fasted to compose) since I've got tons of freelance right now (YAY!) *Drawn in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.

It's interesting... this whole Illustration Friday thang is making me think and draw a little "darker" than what I normally do on my own. I like that. I hope to be able to push things further when my time frees up a little more.

Beautiful. I like the silent mood, and the cold blue goes very well with the theme.

This is really quite good, Paige! And your travel one is excellent too. What did you use for the TRAVEL illustration? YAY for you and all the freelance work (still looking into that for myself).

I really like this Paige. Very meditative. It's like, you feel for this character's loneliness but at the same time you want to leave her alone with her thoughts. Beautiful.

thank you very much guys and gals.

Denis: if only I could have desribed my illustrations intentions so beautifully. Thank you and I cannot wait to see what you dream up this week.
Ms. Elle: the TRAVEL drawing is just a pencil sketch on cheap xerox paper, scanned and colored in photoshop.
thanks again for kind comments.

I like it a lot! Blue alone, sad and maybe a little angry...

If she keep on walking she'll probably stumble in to my "alone".

Hello Paige.

You have such a great style. Somehow I've overlooked your blog... Illustration Friday has gotten so big, I rarely have time to look at everyones work. I'm glad I found you.

I'm adding you to my list of blogs.
