stephanie suggested illustration friday to me, and it seemed like a great idea. i should have started doing it a long time ago. but anyway, here's my first entry. this week's topic was blur.
i tried to think runner's world while making this. the style is a bit of a departure for me, but i like it and hope to explore it more in the near future.
i finally started throwing down some sketches for another painting. i'm going for a softer feel inspired by audrey kawasaki and lindsay campbell. the sloping shoulders are probably a byproduct of looking at lot of beaston recently.
PS the painting is going to be of one of the poses, not both.
i've decided to go with the cat, mostly because there's still something about the panda that's bothering me. i fiddled with it for a while today and still couldn't fix whatever it is that seems off.
i brightened up the original cat a bit and lightened up the stripes to reduce the Garfield-ness. i also tried going all artsy with a trippy pink cat. i'm not sure which i prefer. choices, choices, choices.
