When I saw the challenge for this week I just had to hurry up and do this picture. My brother could not float for anything but my little sister could not sink. Her rear end would always keep her afloat as if it were a bobber!
This is my version (I am seriously an amateur but couldn't let that stop me) of "something that floats". This is our old family pool where we spent our summers - only one travelling vacation in all my years at home. This challenge was a good trip down memory lane. I hope to learn to draw better but I think the idea gets across.
I used pencil to sketch this in, then inked what I needed to and finally used watercolor pencils and a waterbrush to paint it.
Hope you enjoyed the fun of this as I did. I am not trying to make fun of my sister; what is - is.
This is an awesome illustation. And a hillarious story:-)! I have not drawn from memory, so Kudos to you! BTW...LOVE the dewdrop inchie as well!
ReplyDeleteFunny, and a good sketch.

ReplyDeleteCertainly brought a smile to my face. :-) Cute drawing and story.
ReplyDeleteLoved your drawing and your post. It is a funny and sweet memory.
ReplyDeleteGreat and fun illustration! I got the promised smile, thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat illustration and delightful story!
ReplyDeleteOhhh yes -- how well I remember! As a landlubber, I took my first swimming lessons at age 30, and was told I suffered from "negative buoyancy." Sounds like a disease! Thanks for the memory and the spot-on illustration!
ReplyDeleteLOL This is fantastic...and so hilarious my eyes are watering!
ReplyDeleteWe got the cold snap down here in the valley too last night...Not half as bad as Kingman though...We were watching the weather last night and they mentioned Kingman's current temp....Brrrrrr! I thought of you immediately! Keep warm and cozy! :)
This is brilliant, you have that 'floaty' thing right down...Bravo!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I'm like your brother who can't float for anything. :). Amazing the entire composition appears grounded, which is hard to do, but you did a great job of it!
ReplyDeleteWow! You did an absolutely wonderful job drawing this from memory. That it has such a great story to go with it is an added treat.
