21 Day Creative Challenge: Day 8-9

I'm back from my trip to Grande Prairie and Whitecourt in Northern Alberta, Canada. It was truly exhausting and I'm so glad to be back home that I nearly pounced on my lawn and hugged it when I got out of the car (I'm not a fan of driving long distances by myself as it turns out).


I saw this in a park near Grande Prairie.


On My way... I saw this cool guy (from car window)

I have learned two things on this trip: 1) I am not wonderwoman (darn). I've simply put too much on my plate and working all of the hours that I am awake somehow isn't working... And 2) Doing the 21 day creative challenge is very difficult while on a business trip. I opted to focus on illustration projects instead, sketchbooks piled on my hotel bed while listening to television reruns, which is why the two sketches I have provided were done on the days they needed to be done I'm positive that they could have been much better (alright, frankly I don't even want to post this rubbish but don't have time to create something superior). However, they are still creatures nonetheless and need to be named thus! Same rules apply: First to name wins.

Creature Day 8:
He's a relative of sponge bob - square pants (at least that's where he got his eyes), except that he never wears pants (he doesn't have a body). He can tuck his legs up under him and fly away and has been mistaken as a UFO by many unsuspecting humans.

Creature Day 9:

She was drawn while I waited for my breakfast of eggs and toast today... the eggs arrived when I was only ten minutes into the drawing (or less?)... how did they do that? I had to scribble some fast legs and a hat to finish her head just before I scanned her. She's an artist and digs the Beatles. Wears ballet slippers any chance she can get but never intends to dance in them.

  1. Wanted to say these are great little creatures. The first thing I thought of before reading your description of the first was Mr. Crabs from Spongebob! Ha! And the little girl is a cutey!

    I leave the naming to someone else this time since I managed to snag the last two!
