I’m still hooked on line work. The challenge at IF is to illustrate ‘Legendary’. This is my interpretation of the legendary fiction character by Lewiss Carroll, Alice. I dunno whether this suits the challenge but here it is. Took 3 hours to complete the line work and I already felt tired. There’s a little bit empty space at the back to draw; will attend to it when time permits.

Lol! i think her dress looks a bit like barcode! Talk about barcode, I went to search the inventor of barcode, lol! Curiosity killed the cat but not me! Thanks to the internet technology i know now who invented barcode. It was invented by Joseph Woodland and Bernard Silver. There! And oh, it wasn’t until 1974 that barcode scanners was employed.

Rambunctious – Illo Friday *

Posted by emila Filed Under IF, line drawing, moleskine, pen & ink, yassin with 223 Comments

I haven’t been able to take up Illo Friday challenges for more than 3 weeks already but took some time tonight to do last week’s challenge. The challenge is to illustrate ‘rambunctious’. Rambunctious definition: noisy, very active, and hard to control, usually as a result of excitement or youthful energy.

Here are random cartoons of my rambunctious son, Yassin.

Rambunctious really is the word that fits him well. I have to be as rambunctious to keep up with him! Here’s a close-up of him you-tubing video of local song ‘Cek Mek Molek’.

My moleskine, 19 pages left!
