Bear and Boat | Urso e Barco

Usually I first draw a pencil sketch and then go over it using pen and ink. For this exercise, I drew with the ink pen directly on the paper, and then added a bit of watercolor. I had originally thought of this illo for Illustration Friday's "Dip", but didn't have time to do it. I'm way behind!

Normalmente eu desenho primeiro a lápis e depois passo bico de pena e nanquim por cima. Para este exercício eu desenhei com nanquim diretamente no papel, e depois acrescentei um pouco de aquarela. Tinha pensado nesta ilustração para o tema "Mergulhar" para Illustration Friday, mas não tive tempo de fazer. Estou bem atrasada!

    He is really cute!
    This technique works as wonderful as the other one (pencil sketch versus ink pen).

    Wow. No pencil sketch and it looks great! I think I'd be nervous not sketching it out but you're such a pro at this maybe you don't need to anymore?
    You were in my hometown last week - I hope you had a good time.

    Lovely, simple washed out watercolour to share the patience and timeliness of childhood. A timeless treasure...

    Such a whimsical and inviting piece. I love the gentle washes that seem reminiscent of Winnie-the-Pooh and that little boat adds so much.

    Wow, I am impressed. I am too much of a wimp to ever try ink directly on paper, hee hee. Well, this is adorable as always!
