“Space” to me is what I’m out of, but I decided to boldly go in a different direction for this prompt. I tried a different paper (a Strathmore Multimedia Visual Journal) and a different palette (going for a softer, quieter mood), though I went with a limited color scheme (three colors only) once again.
The original’s around 4″ x 5.5″, in watercolor, ink, colored pencil, and a little gouache. I intensified the background a bit in Photoshop. I think I’d like to use this as a jumping-off point for a more finished (and better designed) piece, but it was fun to try some new things — and to get back to Illustration Friday.
I can just imagine the dreams of adventure that are filling this little boy’s head. Lovely pajamas and curtain too!
Thanks so much! The pajamas were especially fun to draw.
so sweet

Adorable! Love the pajamas and curtain pattern.
Another cute illo! I always love how you work those watercolors into such vibrancy! Love the happy little teddy & the curtains!
