IF: Propagate

This week, a fun experiment for Illustration Friday's topic 'propagate.'

Starting with a small circle in the centre, I worked on only a tiny fraction of the image at a time, allowing each pattern to influence the next to see if a pleasing overall design would be propagated.

It was.

Illustration Friday: Muddy

How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!

How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spread his claws,
And welcome little fishes in,
With gently smiling jaws!

Illustration Friday: Wilderness

I've been face-to-face with a tiger. Yes, it was in a zoo but all that separated us was half a foot and some chicken wire. I could have reached out and touched him. (But i didn't!)

It was genuinely awe-inspiring. And, looking into that face and listening to the thud of its paws against the ground and taking in the smell of him, it seemed clear to me - the tiger does not live in the wilderness, wherever it goes, it takes the wilderness with it.

I spent much longer on this than i usually do for IF drawings. Hours and hours and hours. And I'm not sure why, because the idea didn't even really excite me originally. Still, if it makes a monster happy........
