Egberts first appearance for WOYWW

I have created a new character

for The Artist's Playroom

and this is his first

appearance.

He is a little shy

but fun all the same.

Yes, it's Wednesday and time to show our desks all around the world

at Julia's Stamping Ground.

Without  further ado

here is my desk.

The theme for Artists Playground this week is 

make a bookmark and

that is how Egbert Bookman

came into being.

He is still in the early stages and all hand drawn,

with quite a lot still to do.

It was a good excuse to use all of my new goodies 

that I just bought on sale.

 The water pens are fabulous to use with the H2O's.

Thanks to everyone who commented and helped me with my fish painting.

I am happy to report that I found what wasn't right.

After looking deeply at the painting

I noticed that the fishes eyes were bulging

and their cheeks were puffing out.

Then one got really frustrated with me and used his fin to

point just behind his eye

and then it hit me.

I had forgotten to give them GILLS!!!

The poor things had been holding their breath

for all that time, no wonder

their eyes were bulging!!

All is good now, gills are painted in

and they are breathing normally.

Really looking forward to the ATC swap 

next week.

If you want to see the other desks

go on over to Julias.

If you are interested in the bookmarks

I will be posting the finished products

later in the week here

and be sure to check out all the other entries.
