Dave's iFriday: Wind
Central Square, Cambridge Massachusetts

You'll have to forgive these old images looking small on today's desktop browsers. 500 pixels was considered pretty wide in 2006.
In addition to creating new art, I also decided to adhere to the following self-imposed criteria:
- Place the scene in the Central Square neighborhood of Cambridge MA
- Not use cartooning's "motion lines"
- Teach myself to use Corel Painter's watercolor tools
- Refer to last week's "ghost" theme (I feel guilty for repurposing)
- Get it done over the weekend
Now that it's finished, I think my color needs more planning and sophistication. Here's to getting more practice!
iFriday Dave
Illustration Friday (IF, iFriday) was a weekly challenge to illustrate a one-word theme (wind, smoke, invention, etc.) globally announced on Friday nights. It was similar in spirit to Photo Friday, 24 Hour Comics, 48 Hour Films, and Sketchcrawl. Participants usually posted on their own blogs, then shared links to various iFriday boards. This is from my 2006-2007 participation.
