Mirror - Illustration Friday
The topic for Illustration Friday this week is 'mirror' - Now I realise that Perseus used a shield rather than an actual mirror, but I am going with the 'he used the reflection in the polished shield like a mirror' - so there! :)
Wonderful lines and color! Do you use masking fluid for the white outlines? The purple texture of the rocks is particularly cool!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy- Thanks! No masking fluid, I just try to paint in the lines :)
DeleteWow, that must take ages! You know right after I left that message I thought, someone asked that before. Then I thought, maybe it was another IF person, because there are so many. (I did ask at least one other person. She uses a chalk line and paints with acrylics, and wipes off the chalk with a damp cloth after.)
DeleteOoh I never would have thought of using chalk... I'm pretty sure I would make a mess of that :)
DeleteYeah, beautiful colours and I love the hair!
ReplyDeleteThanks Claire! :)
DeleteWhat a unique & fabulous interpretation of that scene in mythology! I love the vibrant & rich color, and Perseus' expression is priceless!
ReplyDeleteLol thanks lovely, glad you like it, yes I was trying to make Perseus have childlike look of ' if I close my eyes really tight it will be okay, and boy I hope this works!' :)
