Save – IF
Save the best for last | pastel + colorpencil on moleskine
The theme is ‘Save’ over at Illustration Friday. Am a bit late for this week’s theme due to the KLIBF and some other commissioned work.
When I was a kid, I would save the best piece for last during meal time, to me it was purely a joy. But sometimes I got unlucky because my sister would steal all the joy away from me and swallowed it fast!

My son loves to call brocolli as ‘pokokli’ coz it looks like a tree… hehe. BTW, Emila, apa tu moleskin? Kulit ka??
