Speed – Illustration Friday

Coming up with an image this week was a bit tough for me. Not so much that I couldn't figure out what to draw...but, rather which idea I came up with would be the best for this week's theme, and the most unique. Finally, I remembered an incident between the little boy I babysat years ago and a small bumble bee. The bee wasn't really near this young tike and wasn't even bothering us...but, this little boy dropped what he was playing with and ran like the wind all the way down to the end of the street. This was my inspiration for this week's Illustration Friday.

I did have a dilemma, however. I couldn't figure out which of my illustrations to post. Above I have it in color, but below is a duotone I did with the same image. I really like them both...but they both lend a different feel. For the fun of it...I am sharing both.

Please note! I am starting a new venture in cyberland! I have decided to try a weekly Photoshop Challenge. You can read more about it at my new blog, Weekly Photoshop Challenge. This summer I am teaching Digital Imaging at the college I teach...and, was planning on doing this challenge just with my students. However, I feel it would be great to have a nice, clean weekly challenge for anybody interested. I hope many of those of you that use Photoshop will play along!
