What's in Your Closet?

Closetfound

I just posted my favorite illustrator this week, Sergio Ruzzier, who was also my inspiration for this week's character challenge: "Closetfound." I wanted to mimic Ruzzier's doodling style so I just let my pencil do the walking without too much worry of proper and perfect getting in the way.

This is Tayisha's closet monster...he's patiently waiting for her to return from her bug catching expedition.

It felt good to let my pencil tell the story...I just stepped back. A good exercise for me as I always want a polished piece to show.

Closetfound posted. I think I'll call him Herkimer.

Hey Stacia, well now, I think that this is more like it, you have really let your pencil do the walking,

but to me it's like you are truly being yourself, that you are having fun - and it shows in the joy of the illustration.

I don't know nothing :) but I think work like this one, in being true to yourself, is what will take you into the future.

It's good to throw away the rules that don't matter and keep the ones that do.
