Another Friday has come and gone and with it, another 'Illustration Friday' challenge. This week the word is "Puzzled." For some reason, this word made me think of that scene in Disney's "Dumbo," where the little elephant wakes up after his accidental drinking binge and discovers that he is up in a tree. Of course he's puzzled by this, how in the world did he get himself up a tree? Of course the audience knows that he flew up into the tree with his gigantic wing-ears. Anyway, my dog is obsessed over squirrels and I know she would do anything if she could get up in a tree to catch one. I know I would certainly be puzzled if I went out into our yard and found her sitting up in a tree. So that's where I got my inspiration for this week's word.
Lately, I've been doing some experimenting with Painter 12's real watercolor brushes which is what I ended up using to create the finished artwork. By the way, you can click on the image to see it larger. I did several sketches before I finally got the dog and the little boy the way I imagined them. My progression of sketches is below.
