Illustration Friday- HOLLOW

It's been a few months since I've drawn anything for Illustration Friday. Since I wanted to do some warm up sketches before digging into the meat of my drawing today, I did this quick 20 minute concept sketch for today's theme, which is Hollow. That's the truly great thing about IllustrationFriday.com. You don't have to post finished masterpieces or detailed studies. You can if you want, but you can also just let the theme serve to inspire a quick doodle. Sort of a way to get the creative juices flowing. And I don't know about you, but by the time Friday rolls along, I can use all the inspiration available! I want to develop this concept further by including some other animals who are intent on making this boy's quiet time a sheer nightmare by stealing his books, running off with his flashlight, maybe even setting a trap for the boy to trip on, who knows. Yet the boy is mesmerized by his book and fully intent on getting to the last page in spite of the mischief makers trying to distract him. Whether I finish this sketch remains to be seen. But it sure felt good to inspired by "Hollow"! I hope you give IF a try too.
