Creative Tuesday: Breakfast

Well, my original idea for this theme was a kid with tousled hair looking up at a great big plate of pancakes, but I just couldn't seem to get it on paper. So I drew this fellow (based on no one in particular). 


He looks about like I feel while eating breakfast- still droopy-eyed with messy hair, reading whatever's handy and trying to wake up with coffee and something sweet. I am NOT a morning person!

After I finished him, I decided to try my original idea one more time, because I loved it so much, but this time from a different perspective and using a different style character, just to see....


and VOILA!! :-D

Head on over to Hot Toast and Jam to check out all the other visions of "breakfast"!

  1. I'm glad you didn't give up on your original idea - it is such a fun drawing :)

    The top drawing is an accurate representation of a lot of sleepy people trying to start their days I'm sure!

    Very cool to see 2 different approaches.

  5. I like them both. The kid with the pancakes reminds me of my son. He could eat pancakes for every meal! :-)

  6. They are both great and so completely different in style. I love the eyes as big as saucers on the second one.
