I drew two sketches for this one but ran out of time so I finished the less detailed of the two.
Illustration Friday
Spotted
What is with the “sp” topics? Spring… Speed… Spotted…
Anyway, here we have La Bug Jatte.

Speed
Topic was “speed” so I tried to do it up really fast, too. Total: 4.5 hours. I’m getting better. Bill’s fascinated with what he calls my “zen archery” approach to illustration.
Spring
Jason double-challenged me by informing me that I had to draw “Spring Chickens!”
Monster
Eh. Sometimes an illustration is just forced. It’s been a busy week. I also need to stop drawing partial bedrooms for a while!
Feet
I wasn’t all that inspired by this weeks topic so this is more of a theme than a depiction. Rabbits’ feet. shoes, socks… Ok I got a little fixated on rabbits altogether last week because of the “drunk bunny” at Charlotte’s friend’s wedding.

Edit 5.23.06: Bunnies and Socks: A disquisition upon rabbit-ness. Ears or feet?
By Keith Ward
Which provides the essence of a bunny? Long ears help us hear, and cool us
off in the summer. Surely they are most important, and these human socks
surely must have been intended to protect our ears.
Feet: Wrongo! Our big feet provide quick getaways and keep us from
sinking in the snow. Because humans put socks on THEIR feet, which are
far less important or grand than OUR feet, surely ours deserve socks
too.
Plus, look at how silly you look with that sock on you ear!
