Creative Word #3: The Crombler (Transition)

How does a dessert go bad? Perhaps it happens overnight? Here is the Crombler illustration in progress. I've been super busy this weekend and haven't had much time to devote to him. Let's hope that the drawing doesn't go bad before I complete it!

Creative Word #3: The Crombler

This is why you don't make cobbler with bad fruit. Be warned. (Crombler is Larry's word. A color version based on this sketch will be coming soon.)

Sketchbook 1 Inked

I have a couple of ideas rolling in the back of my head for the next silly word, "Crombler," so that sketch is coming soon. In the meantime I have taken the sketches from this post and inked them in Adobe Illustrator. I'm using a custom calligraphic brush with a size of 2, pressure sensitive (using a Wacom tablet and stylus) with a variation of 2. I typically work in two different modes, illustrations with lines, and illustrations without lines. I am in a "liney" kind of mood so this exercise starts with strokes created with the paintbrush tool. More to come...

Creative Word #2: Flumperscoot Color

Isn't he so soft and peaceful? These color versions of these silly word sketches are just the tip of what I can imagine. I'm looking forward to doing some more complex illustrations in the future with my new friends. For now I am on to the next word!

The next one is Larry's word, Crombler!

Creative Word #2: Flumperscoot

Flumperscoots seem to sleep all day and night. They wouldn't even move if it wasn't for their magical spheres that roll them about when they need to travel. Most of their traveling seems to be relocating to different places to sleep. Silly sleepy Flumperscoots!

(Flumperscoot is Jez's word. A color version based on this sketch will be coming soon.)
