Rochelle Potato

These are draft sketches for Sexy Vegetable(TM), Rochelle Potato. I decided to go with the version on the right because I thought her head was more authentically potato looking.  

Fashion Illustration

I found this book, Fashion Illustration, Inspiration and Techniques, at my local library, and it's been really helpful for me at this point in my Sexy Vegetables project. I've never really given much thought to the clothes my comic characters wear. I haven't really had to (Timmy only wears underwear and Bruce is a monkey, etc.). But each Sexy Vegetable has her own style, and it needs to be expressed through her clothes! It's a fun new challenge for me.

Also can I just say how awesome it is to live near a great library. I can't believe all the great books I can take out. For free! I love the library!

Sexy Vegetable Sketches - Charmaine Mushroom

More Mushroom Sketches

More rough character sketches for Ms. Charmaine Mushroom. I liked the top middle one but I didn't go with this design because I wasn't sure that she read 'mushroom' loud and clear. 

Can't make up my mushroom mind

Here's one of a billion character sketches I did for one of my Sexy Vegetables(TM), Ms. Charmaine Mushroom. Mushrooms are a challenging vegetable because there are so many varieties that are interesting to draw but then, how do you make them sexy? This isn't the model I went with but now I'm thinking I like it and might change it back. 

Project Update

I'm finishing up a piece featuring Sexy Vegetable(TM), the delicious and nutritious Caressa Carrot. These photos are of one corner of the pencil sketch before inking. 

Caressa's hangin' out under an ivy-covered arbor.

Inking the ivy was a little tedious...  

 

Caressa has a little rabbit friend!
