Animal characters

Playing around with various characters. Fox is my favourite.

Illustration Friday: Spooky

A quick little spooky pic (and if you're not utterly spooked by this then you must be desensitized by watching too many slasher movies, cos this pic is seriously spooky. Oh yeah.)

'Singer of starlight'

Hello! Above is the latest illustration from the course I'm doing. The brief was to show two characters (an older and a younger person) relating to each other in a warm setting. The book title 'Singer of Starlight' was left up to us to interpret. I interpreted this as being a granny filling her granddaughter in on the good old days when she was a singer (probably in a 1930's style music hall called 'Starlight' :-)) I scanned in a black ink monoprint and a sheet of sepia watercolour, together with linework, and overpainted in photoshop. Enjoyed it v much and robbed the cat for me new-look blog banner - happy days.
