chirp. chirp. here's my illustration friday "twist."
as previously mentioned, i am taking an off-loom fibers class. last week we were shown netting. i decided to draw the loops and knots and what i remembered of the demonstration, and somehow the drawing turned into twisty, funny looking birds. (note: i then used the "live paint" feature of illustrator. if you've never used live paint before, you should try it. it's fun to use and much easier than the traditional way of coloring up art in illustrator. it was a new feature introduced in cs2.)
also, if you want to make your own net, check out this page.

this turned out so pretty. it's my favorite thing when you start a drawing and it turns into something even more interesting.
and I'm starting to discover the joys of illustrator's live paint too ;)
