My entry for Illustration Friday, this week's topic, "trail"
(pen on watercolour paper, A5)
The first thing that came to my mind after seeing "trail" in my inbox on Friday was "snail", and not just because they both rhyme. I didn't get around to doing this until today, it was another of those "don't think too hard about the subject" pictures, so I just did it freehand off the top of my head.
I scribbled with aqua Promarkers and blended them like watercolours, then I added some highlights with my favourite white illustration ink pen :) In total it took about 40 minutes to do and that includes time taken for the paper to dry to a workable state so I could use the ink pen.
Today I bought a canvas. I think I know what I want to put on it but I've never painted on canvas before... so that should be fun. I don't know when I'll start it but I'll post the end disaster if and when it's done :D
Nice shell on that snail The colors really give it dimension.
