A hand-drawn type illustration today… nothing too special, Blah pretty much sums it up! 🙂

Thought I’d try the surreal-stream-of-consciousness-crazy-assed-illustration again today… still having the problem of not knowing when to stop although I think this one is a little more coherent than Mystic Mountain.
I wanted to do something that was as close to a freaky dream as possible, bordering on scary but not.

Octagon has been on the lamb for a long time. He has established himself in the square community, has a square wife with a lovely square house… if only they knew how many sides he really has.
Shapes on the Lamb: The final lineup
The full series drawn with Letraset Pantone Markers and Staedtler inking pens on A3 160gsm acid free gouache paper.

Another real life illustration in that I have zero help from a computer or the undo button and another tree which I seem to be favouring lately too. Some close ups of the detail after the jump.

Back to the marker and paper in the real world today with another abstractly piece drawn with the letraset Pantone markers. You will start to see a pattern in the colours I’m using on these pieces… it’s because I only have seven usable markers left! Time for some more I think!
So, I started drawing with no real thing in mind apart from some nice contrasting shapes and weirdness and what turned out could only be described as the visuals you would get from too much sugar and other good stuff, hence the title! 🙂
Once again, drawn on 160gsm acid-free gouache paper (for that nice watercolourly effect) with Letraset Pantone Tria markers (all seven of them!)
