Illustration Friday: Small

Illustration Friday's topic this week is "small". I haven't completed this illustration yet, but thought I'd show a progression of one using this very small Santa sculpture.

My extended family picks names each Christmas, not for gifts, but to exchange ornaments. Because of my newfound love for Sculpey, I thought I'd make a homemade ornament this year. This Santa is what I came up with, and it's my first shot at sculpting with this kind of detail.

While I was creating this, my mind started working on other uses for him, and I've been inspired to use him as part of an illustration. I have a grand idea, and this is the first step. I'll share my progress, or show the final when it's done, whether or not it turns out good. It's a real experiment for me, and I'm so excited to try it out.

So, if you're interested, come on back, and I'll give updates.

Enjoy! I know I will!
