Treehouse Contraption

Today's drawing kills two birds with one stone. It fills the next spread in my Sketchbook Project treehouse sketchbook, and it contains a contraption to fulfill this week's Illustration Friday challenge. These little tree people needed some way to move fruit from the apple tree to the pine tree (thus making them pineapples - you may all groan now).

    hahahaha, it seems that groaning at word puns is international.
    clever idea though and I love the drawing, the perspective seems to come so naturally to you!

    I love it! I was hoping to see children's book illustrations (or ones that could be) in the Sketchbook Project!

    I love puns! Great concept, and wonderful use of red to lead the eye around the composition.

    This look's like it could be a cousin to my drawing this week. I went back to look at your treehouse project - it's really wonderful...you're onto something there!
