Watercolour illustration for #illo52weeks illustration challenge – Pattern

I can’t believe we are into the 10th week of this challenge. Challenges really stretch you, especially when you are faced with a subject you haven’t explored much before. This week I could have taken the theme pattern in so many directions but I decided to do a gift card illustration.

I had been drawing up final illustrations for hours and flaked on the couch dinner with one of my finished sketchbooks. I’ll just browse for inspiration and watch TV, I told myself – yer right! Around 10pm there is a quirky dark haired girl holding a poodle laying on my dining table. I spotted a sketch I had done which I had wanted to paint someday and it fitted the them. It seems that someday does sometimes happen. I redrew with a few alterations and added the Happy Birthday text.

Another one bites the dust…and another ones gone… and another one…Oh yer!
