Eclectic Endeavours

I absolutely love capturing all types of moments during my times of travel, day trips or just because. :) This blog is all about having a creative outlet for all of my creative inspirations and aspirations.

My Element

Anything having to do w/ the arts is where I can be in my element. From sketching, to photographing, to pottery and painting, to graphic design... etc. etc. etc. ♥

What type of camera do you use?

I use the best kind of camera. The one that I have with me at the moment the photo is taken. It could be my Samsung Galaxy cell phone or my Nikon D40 or D90 or heck... even your phone! :)

Illustration Friday -- Layers

Friday, February 25, 2011 ++V++

Here's another little ode to Starbucks. This week's topic was: Layers and what a better way to show layers than to illustrate their Caramel Macchiato. :D

Next week's topic: Swarm

Illustrating for Fun! :D

Wednesday, February 23, 2011 ++V++

 
There's something about Illustrations made for children that give me the warm fuzzies. They're carefree, fun and full of color! When I became a mom, I became more and more interested in illustrating children's books (amongst other things in the art world). Better yet, I've dreamed of writing and illustrating my own series. It's still an aspiration of mine, so why not start practicing? ;) While my Mini Me was watching "World World" on PBS, I decided to take the liberty to tweak Dog, which got me thinking about my dog, Brina.

 
I rarely get to see Brina (my Mini Me's dog) or Pixel (my Mini Me's cat) since they live with their dad. However, I got to hang out with Brina the other day and I snapped a pic of her peering up at me requesting to be let out. Using that pic, this was my attempt at illustrating both Brina and Pixel.

Makes me wonder if Brina and Pixel's adventures could come to life? Hmm...

I splurged on a "real" set of watercolors! :)

Saturday, February 07, 2009 ++V++

Here they are all wrapped up like teenie tiny gifts. :)

I began unwrapping these lil gems the moment I got home. I wanted to test them out as soon as possible. Boy! What a difference from my lil ol' Crayola set. Ha! The color is so much richer!

My lil guy and I had grabbed some lunch at Pei-Wei and I took a pic of him with my cell. So, I decided to sketch the image from the cell phone and play with my new watercolors.
I wasn't aiming for a realistic feel. Lately, my concentration is on illustrating for children's books someday. Thing is, someday doesn't come all on its own. I'm the one who needs to take initiative. So, why not begin practicing? ;o)
