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! :)

  1. Wonderful lines and color! Do you use masking fluid for the white outlines? The purple texture of the rocks is particularly cool!

    2. Wow, 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.)

    3. Ooh I never would have thought of using chalk... I'm pretty sure I would make a mess of that :)

  3. What a unique & fabulous interpretation of that scene in mythology! I love the vibrant & rich color, and Perseus' expression is priceless!

    1. Lol 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!' :)
