Ruben's Bumper

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!!! My husband and I had our first Christmas together as a family, just us. It was absolutely lovely. :) 

Since yesterday evening, I have already been back to working on the designs! Here is The very first design I did...the one that was put on hold, waiting for more yarn.

When I was designing this piece I was thinking, 'Circus'. It originally was going to be named the Balloon Jumper, resembling something that of clown pants, but it is not exactly a jumper. It's a mix between a soaker, jumper, and overall's. My Husband came up with the name Bumper, and it stuck. :)

I have finally finished it! Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a passionate knitter. My knitting inspired me to draw this illustration. This probably isn't the last of a knitted inspired piece...I am sure there will be more where that came from. I went through a few of the same sketch before I got the ending result I wanted. I originally was going to do this piece in color, but I was having a hard time coming up with a color scheme in using colored pencils(I have not got my paints yet, so for now I am using my colored pencils).
