The theme for this week is Black & White.
Since I have been doing a number of black and white line art drawings for coloring and activity books recently, I thought it would be fun to show the black and white line art clamoring for color. It's actually a pretty good reflection of my current state of mind as it relates to my illustration "career" - "I CAN DO COLOR" I keep telling my editor :o) Well, I'm happy just to be drawing and getting published. And anyway, art all started for me with coloring books. Maybe some of my B&W art will inspire a kid somewhere...who knows...??
that's true what you have said. ....chances are we can make another child or person happy without us even knowing it.

ReplyDeleteReminds me of the million coloring books I had as a child. I loved coloring. Wonder if those characters felt that way too. Hmmm. Very cute illo. Welcome to the board.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful illustration, and I really like the idea behind it. The touch of color looks good next to the black and white line art.

Black and white begging to be coloured is a great spin on the theme. I reckon kids will love these books - bunnies are a favourite in my house - and I love the inclusion of comic thought balloons!
ReplyDeleteGreat illustration! When I first came across Illustration Friday and was looking at submissions this one really stood out for me :)
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome to see your work online...it's about time. You'll do great Beck. I know you have the gifts and talents just waiting to be let out of the gate.
ReplyDeleteAnd God will give you new ideas with each day...it'll happen.
Coloring books are the first actual choices of expression we're given as children. To color realisticly in the lines- or just to scribble anything all over the page. Great pic
ReplyDeletelove the illustration. so funny that color books would beg to be colored, but they do!
ReplyDeleteThis is so charming and so very well done! I love how the characters talk to the viewer:))
ReplyDeleteGood idea!
