Another cut-paper illustration, to experiment more with shadows and try out some new paper (80gsm – some recent pictures were on something closer to cardboard). It was easier to cut, although not of course as robust.
I’m working on more pen-and-ink illustrations at the moment, too, it isn’t all silhouettes! But I have some possible projects in mind for the cut-paper, and Illustration Friday is always an excellent opportunity to practice techniques and ideas – how much detail and movement can be put into a small image, whether I can draw sheep…
*wow* this is so beautiful! i wonder how you do this – with a scalpel?
Yes! with a scalpel and a certain misguided enthusiasm!
That’s gorgeous! I love how the shadows look, too. Have you experimented with any “post-production” effects? (eg Photoshop layers with different textures/images)
On this one? A little, yes :)
