IF: Shadow

Illustration Friday: Shadow, originally uploaded by psychopooch.

When I saw the topic this week, the first thing that popped into my head was the scene in Peter Pan where Wendy helps him out by sewing his shadow back on. Rather than sketching that exact scene though, I decided to draw Zucco stitching his own shadow. This time I played around with Procreate on the iPad.

IF: Asleep

Not the first time I've drawn Zucco sleeping but this is the first time I've done it with a watercolor type app. Used Auryn Ink for this along with the Nomad Brush. Still playing around but have to say, it's a fun combo for sketching on the iPad.

Aaron's FB status:
Sharktopus!

Yes, that's a real facebook status. Sharktopus aired on SyFy the evening it was posted. It just so happened that I caught a glimpse of it. But like a train wreck, it was horrific, but you just couldn't take your eyes off it. Was amazed someone else caught the same exact programming that night (it really was THAT BAD, haha)! Anyway, I never intended to do a sketch but I just couldn't take it out of my mind. It also didn't help that posts on sharks kept popping up for me when I was web surfing these past few days.

So... here it is, my version of Sharktopus. Something a little less menacing. Maybe I'll come up with a story about Zucco's adventures with this little guy at some point.

OK, so this is what my sketches of Zucco REALLY look like before I bring it into Adobe Illustrator to do my thing. Did this off an iPad with Sketchbook Pro. Still getting used to drawing with my fingers. It's a quickie based on a friend's facebook status.

... is sitting here listening to my new mosquito zapper go "buzz!" every couple of seconds. Die bugs die!!! mwahhahahaha

Somehow an image of Zucco with a taser popped in my head. Posting this because I'm positive it will be a while before I come back to this sketch to get it to look more finished and by then, the moment will have passed for me to share.

Hmmm, now I wonder if I should add facebook statuses to my source of inspiration for Zucco illos.
