I'm happy with the picture itself but not so much with the way the colours were scanned. Oh well.
Ink and watercolour.

This is a spot to show things I scribble in my sketchbooks. Some of them are pictures, some of them musings, some of them ideas for stories. Enjoy.

Hi Pete, I've just discovered your blog and I LOVE your drawings! You've really captured the feeling of him about to jump in this one.
This is great :) (I know what you mean about scanning...I hate when it doesn't look like I want it to look when it's posted online!)Still, it's a great illo!
This is very nice...I LIKE YOUR STYLE.
RE: scanning - I had my scanner for 7 years, and I JUST NOW discovered that I can adjust it so that it picks up more of the subtle shades. Go into the scanner software and reduce the "contrast" a little at a time until it is scanning all of those shades you want it to. This really made a difference for me!
Great illo Pete! Love your linework.
Great one!
yikes, someone save him......good illo.
great gesture! i can really feel him about to jump. hope he has a soft landing!
Love this. You have created the action of him beginning a leap, makes you want to capture him.

great work on your site, cute illio
Nicely drawn and good pose. (Agree about scanning and colour, I am always disappointed with how my colours come out.)
Great drawing, perfect pose and expression. You have a terrific style, very fresh and loose line work.
I think we all understand how you feel abou scanning and colors, it can be so frustrating! I'm going to try Kate's advice though, in the future.
he's great I want to reach out and catch him:)
