Illustration Friday - Asleep

I don't think there really is anything more beautiful and peaceful as a sleeping child. Whether your day has been wonderful or just crazy, all is good at the end of the day when you have a little something like this snoring in the bedroom.

I did this sketch of my son sleeping a few years ago, been so busy lately so I decided to use something old for IF this week, just wanted to participate because I love the topic so much.

This little girl...

drawing and smiling...


Drawing has always been my favorite thing to do. I doubt the day will come when I don't enjoy it anymore. Ever so often I find old drawings of mine, framed on some family members wall, and usually I find it pretty embarrassing. But this one here above, I have to admit I'm actually a little proud of.

I drew it when I was 12 years old in my grandparents summerhouse. It's of my grandpa doing a crossword puzzle, always in the same seat, in the same pose, finding the right words, ..and it actually looks kind of like him.

A recent trip to my grandparents summer house made me think of all that time I've spent drawing. And it made me realize that I might be raising a little artist in my own house :)

Happy faces, silly smiles

After my last post, where I couldn't stop talking about the sun finally arriving, it started snowing again, in May!!! Come On!!! But NOW, Summer is here for sure, which makes me and everybody I draw have this silly smile on their faces.

This is a detail of the painting from the 'O' spread of the book I'm illustrating (you can see the drawing a few posts below). The paintings are going well, at least I can see the end of it. So, in about two (ok, maybe three) weeks, I'll have that smile stuck on my face, plus some teeth showing...
