Two Sketches I did yesterday. The first one I call KEITH HERRING (= HARING in dutch). Does not look like him, just wanted to change the classical "macho with a touch-look" which is common in illustrations of male mermaids(merman?).

The second one is a fox riding it's possible diner.
Which reminds me of two illustrators who gave the fox an lively face in my head and eyes.
William Steig in his books "Doctor De Soto" and "The Amazing Bone". On this site a small tribute to him with some drawings throughout his life.
And ofcourse the foxes of Quentin Blake.
These two illustrators gave the fox besides a cunning side, a vunerable one. Victim of their own tricks.
