It’s been forever! Drawing has taken a backseat to textiles as I continue in my master’s degree in textile design. But pears are never far from my mind! Here is a pear I knit with wire for a class last spring:
If you’re curious to see more of my textile (knitting), I have a portfolio online here: https://www.behance.net/DrewMcKevitt
Here’s something a bit different from the usual comics I post. I drew this pear with pen and watercolor, and then became obsessed (hard to believe of someone who has been drawing pears for 4 years, I know) with trying different color combinations. These are my favorites:
This one is one of my favorites, because she’s so angry! I made a second watercolor version too. She’s also the month of May in the 2014 Pears of the World Calendar (which is also on sale for nearly 50% off). The thing about this calendar is that you can cut the calendar stuff at the bottom off and have prints after the months are finished!
This pear is also known as Fondante d’Automne (Autumn’s candy).
The Abbe Fetel or Abate Fetale was in the news earlier this month when Italian growers brought this pear to the States for a showing. This is also the pear I chose to make the month of April in the pear calendar.
