Dear Holly, I have chosen to answer your challenge by illustrating the material object I love most! I reveal to you: Pandy.
Pandy is my favorite childhood toy. He has more personality then most people, and triggers many happy memories of intense playtime with my sister Lauren.
I tried to capture how alive he is to me... you know when you're acting with toys and you make them move, he's very mobile and when i think of him i think of something that can't sit still. his head has this way of stretching really high, making him look like he's in a different mood. and his body is so expressive. Hence the wild ink lines.
....omg i sound crazy.
I'll stop lol.
Thanks Holly, this was so fun.

thanks for the fun theme!
Pandy is adorable!! The sketchy and loose brush strokes really add to his hairiness! I love how you rendered this!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first look at this, I see a panda. The overall illustration doesn't suggest 'object love.' Lack of time is frustrating and I wont be hard on you. Overall I Would have loved for you to tie in, 'you' in this image.
3.5 goosebumps :)

Hi there ladies,
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog, but I've got to say I see more than a Panda here, and after I read Jen's note about it I got goosebumps! I saw a Panda first, then when I scrolled by I saw something totally different: two children jumping - as though holding hands and dancing in circles. Jen and sister Lauren?? Was that intentional or am I the subject of an ink blot test here?
