Serendipity! I was working on this illustration when Illustration Friday announced “Little things” was the theme.
I liked the play in this photo. Is the little thing the boy or whatever the boy is hiding from the teacher? You decide!

Boy Walks the Pet
It’s harder walking the dog when it starts getting cold. I’m just thankful I don’t have to walk the fish either.

Fall Back
The leaves are starting to fall in Indiana. The bright colors are a swan song for the leaves. I saw a few screaming this morning. The poor things must be cold. I’m sure I saw them shaking as they fell.

Toddler Trick or Treat
I did this illustration in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
Here is the sketch page I took it from. I was wondering about some unusual Halloween scenes. The boy in the pumpkin costume came to mind because of the infant costumes you see now. I remember my nephew having one. The poor kid looked like a pumpkin had swallowed him. It’s fun when the parents are still enjoying the holiday while the child is too young to have a clue what’s going on.
I scanned the page then focused on the toddler. I did the finished brush work in Photoshop.
Next, I placed the Photoshop file in Illustrator and finished the color. I could have all been done in Photoshop, but it is so much easier using the color palettes in Illustrator.
Last Friday, there was a Homecoming parade in our town. I spotted these two girls ready for the fun. They had plastic grocery bags to collect any candy thrown from the floats. As the band came into view you could just feel their tension. They wanted the rest of the parade to come by so they could collect their treasure.
I’m guessing they will get all the candy eaten just in time for Halloween.
