First, I'm so excited to say that I won the giveaway that was being held by the super-talented Genie Espinosa! Yay! Thankyou Genie!
Also, here's my submission for this week's Illustration Friday topic. I came up with the idea for this whilst having lunch by the river on Sunday. A woman at the table next to us made a raft for her neice and nephew by weaving together twigs. She then gave it a large leaf sail, and they sent it floating off down the river. It was such a cute raft! So I decided to draw it and give it a crew!
I used a brush pen for the outlines then painted it with watercolours. This is my first go at using watercolours, but I can tell they'll be lots of fun to use! (Especially if next time I try and use the correct paper! :)

This is really cute and it came out great although you said it was your first time using watercolor! I bet next time you will rock! I am looking forward to seeing beautiful work!
