I did this little sketch for Illustration Friday's topic of the week: SORRY. I've been sick in bed for days and the sorriest thing I could think of was the sight of me still in bed.
I'm hoping that the antibiotics will finally kick in and I'll quit coughing and having headaches and will again have a life. I'll remember to be grateful for every minute I feel good!
To amuse myself while I've been sick I took my laptop to bed with me and looked at other people's art for inspiration. I found a Weekend Drawing Event on Wet Canvas where a moderator posts a dozen pictures–this weekend of her trip to the zoo in the Netherlands–and members spend 2 hours on a piece and then upload their artwork in any media in response. I was delighted to find a couple of ringtailed lemurs in the photos and did a couple of quick ink and watercolor sketches (below).
It felt so good to do a teeny bit of art again instead of just sleeping, coughing and feeling like crap.
