Illustration Friday | Sour



Looks like someone is in a sour mood... I guess we all have had days like this.
Here's also the sketch for this very simple illustration, done quickly in pencil. I wish I could keep the carefree looseness of the sketch on the final piece, but that's not easy.


Alguém parece que está de mau humor... Acho que todos nós já tivemos dias assim. Coloco aqui também o desenho desta ilustração bem simples, feita rapidamente à lápis. Eu gostaria de preservar o traço bem solto e leve no trabalho final, mas não é fácil.

  8. you're right we DO all have days like this I can relate!
    it is lovely how you've captured the emotion in the loose lines - if I look at her very long my eyebrows do the same right back at her!

  11. Great entry, she truely has a sour expression! I always think your final renderings of your sketches are perfect, they are certainly a source of inspiration for me which is why I'm glad Alicia has nominated you for an award (I was going to too but am trying not to double up where others have nominated) P.s I adore your tree scene below esp. the bunny :)
