Illustration Friday: Book
Here’s my Illustration Friday attempt for this week:
My favourite part is the actual book, which came from my head (and, well, yes, it’s got a mermaid in it!). The girls are from a photo and I’m struggling a lot with drawing pictures of RoRo in particular that make her look like a six-year-old and not a 56-year-old. There may well be a post in that at some later date – especially, if I actually succeed in capturing her childishness.

My favorite part of this artwork is how it brings back childhood memories. I really like how the book pops out from the rest of the artwork. I also really enjoy the colors used in this piece.

Thank you for your comment, Corinne. I like how the book jumps out, too.
I have found that I have some favourite colours in my big box of Inktense pencils that I just come back to again and again. In fact, if I’m going out and about I take about six of them with me in a pencil case, because I can make do very well just with those colours.
