Illustration Friday: bottled

Yeah, you know the deal:

(pen and pastel on paper, A4)

I added a vignette to darken it somewhat, the original image scanned way too bright. It also makes the image look old, which is a pretty neat effect.

Dots, everywhere dots.


Update: I also found the first doodle I made when this week's topic was announced:


This is usually how I put my idea down before I completely forget it: really badly on a scrap of paper and in ball-point pen :)

  1. Beautiful illustration. I love the detail. I see a combination of graffiti, van Gogh, and Flapjack. Well done!

  2. Thanks, J.J.
    I've been a graffiti fan for years so that influence definitely crept in. I didn't think about van Gogh when I did this but now you mention it I can see it. As for Flapjack, I had to look this up as all I could think of was the oaty cake bar. I didn't know until now that the cartoon even existed!

  3. beautiful mix of styles! I especially like the "Van Gogh" texture of the glass.
