Illustration Friday- Dairy

Ablast from my past! Cleaning out my moms home I came acros a box of some of my old pen pal letters and several diaries. I thought a sketch of a few would fit this Illustration Friday  theme perfect.
This is the entire page from my moleskine watercolor sketch book. I did the sketcing then the journaling. It was a chuckle to read some of the simple entries of a 12 year old.

UPDATE: in the box I found with my diaries were a few penpal letters. With the aid of the internet, I just found a 'blood sister' of mine from sixth grad who moved away. I just got a confirmation on my connection last night!

Illustration Friday- adrift in pen and ink

adrift - theme from 021210 on Illustration Friday

I have been enjoying creating for Illustration Friday though i seem to miss the publish date during the week. So that is one area to improve on. I seem to loose my Thursdays in my week. I start the pen and ink illustration on Monday and find I haven't finished and posted by Thursday. (Friday is whne the new theme comes out).

My husband is a bass fisherman and I enjoy illustrating the subject. Oh more signs of spring on my mind!! (no not my husband here)

I tried to make the fish the focus with the detail.Though I feel the man is unfinished without all the detail.Something I plan on experimenting with.
