IF: Wrapped

Ok, I am kind of being a cheater cheater pumpkin eater with this one. FINALLY got this painted and am using the painted version for this week's IF since it is Thursday (already!) So, hope that's ok.

For some reason my ink bled when I began painting so he's a bit darker in spots than I'd like. I always use that bottle and haven't had a problem. Hmmm...perplexing. I have some notes on what I will change on this illustration because I think he might make a cute Christmas card design. I can see him on a card wish everyone a "Rootin-Tootin Holiday".

For the IF topic Wrapped: Soon(er than we think) Santa will be wrapped up in toys preparing to deliver them on Christmas Eve.

(Almost) IF: Impatience

Darn it. Painting is not going to happen tonight. That's what I get for taking so long to get to the painting part. Sigh.

Anyhow, Santa curbs his impatience this time of year by testing the toys. Plus he's just a real prepared and organized kind of guy. So naturally he's way ahead of schedule.

"Bye, mom!"

A second sketch for IF's "Impatient"...and it's Thursday evening. Must decide and get painting (I'm totally stalling...) And that headlight on our right must be fixed.

Sketch: Countdown til Christmas

For this week's IF...now to get it painted (and maybe make some adjustments).
