Duet

This is my illustration for this weeks word Illustration Friday- Duet

I wanted to make a painterly style using photoshop but wanted it to by very simple with the brush strokes and colour to blend and consistent with the background. To create some movement I have a a shadow of the dancer shifted to the side of the dancers.

These are some simple thumbnails I was deciding on using.

Photoshop Graffiti

I drew a little girl with a gas mask to represent how we might not be effected by the pollution to the extent of having to a mask, but in generations to come children might have to wear gas masks in their everyday life.

I saw Bansky's graffiti and I really liked his style of using just black and white to draw some of the figures and incorporated the white and black with my style.

Pepper Warning

Illustration Friday- WARNING
Sometimes when I use pepper I sneeze. It always comes as a surprise to me because it happens randomly. In that random moment I have a one second warning between having a tickle in my nose to sneezing. Sometimes I wish I could have a longer warning so I wouldn't sneeze where I didn't want to.
