Created this Illustration for Illustration Friday. I thought I'd get a jump start this week, though I'm not sure what I'll do all week waiting for the next topic!

I am a big fan of the bright colours of neon highlighters and the thick ink of sharpies so I thought I'd create a really bright illustration this week. It's all done by hand except for a little bit of highlights and lowlights done in Photoshop to up the impact at the end.

Might


Medium: FW Ink, Quill Pen, Mixed Media

Created for Illustration Friday. I was inspired when researching the topic (Might) by the story of "Mighty Aphrodite". This illustration depicts the might of the sculptor's attraction to the statue he created... and she then comes to life!

The composition was inspired by Angelo Bronzino's work "Pygmalion und Galatea".

Thanks for checking out my work!
