IF: Music

My little parade of monkeys that I just finished is perfect for this topic. This monkey marching band enjoys entertaining the other jungle animals on holidays and special occasions!

This is a colored pencil drawing with a little bit of collage (the sheet music at the bottom). To see the personalized version, check it out in my shop. I think monkeys are my favorite animal to draw... after turtles of course!

Finally finished!

It seems that I've been working on these two drawings forever. I finally got them finished and then had several weeks of messing with them because I didn't like how the colors came out when they were printed. I LOVE teal and aqua colors, they are finding their way into a lot of my new stuff....but it's quite hard to make the printer show teal and aqua. Everything comes out blue. Blue is nice, but teal is AWESOME!

Illustration Friday: Drifting

This weeks' topic is drifting. I quickly fixed up and colored my little Monkey in D (thanks for the idea, Katie), so you can see him drifting off to sleep. I didn't plan for him to be in a "D" when the topic was 'd'rifting. It just worked out that way. After giving a Monkey C to my friend to celebrate her new monkey baby, I thought I'd do some more!

I'll be adding these to my Etsy shop shortly so people can pick a letter for their kids! I love the idea of something personalized and handmade in a child's room. So pick a letter, pick a color scheme and I'll draw it up for ya! Hooray for monkeys!
