unfold
June 16, 2009
If her clothes hadn’t ended up unfolded, severely stretched out and reeking of wet dog, Sheila Sheepington-Fleecewater might have had less of a problem with the wolf borrowing them.

This week’s Illustration Friday theme is “unfold”.

What a great sketch! Your animal expressions and body shapes/language are right on! I wouldn’t venture my next comment except that your piece is otherwise very strong: I think the dark cloud over the sheep is unnecessary. I think his expression is enough to show his annoyance and the cloud even distracts from the rest of the drawing. The clothing on the wolf is priceless. Nice details, especially the ruffle. -Jenn.

This is fantastic, I love it! The pissed off sheep, the wolf’s ponch sticking over the ill fitting clothing and the sheep shoes in the closet, absolutely great 🙂

Happy days, months and years as always!

I actually LOVE the fuming stream above the sheep’s head 😉 it may not be necesary because you get facial expressions so right on, but the graphic adds to the feel of the illo (imho.)
The whole thing is spectacular. And I hate it when Emma wears my clothes after she’s gotten wet. Ewwwwww, wet dog, bad dog.
