Final Freddie Illustration
This is my final design for Freddie, i realise the strategically placed branch could look a bit shady for a children's book, but the idea is that he is imitating a dog! Hope people like it :)
sorry Milan! Today I'm your harshest critic - first thought is he's been stabbed in the back, and blood is spouting out of his mouth.
Your right about the second image as well, it looks like someone has twisted that boys arm and he's in pain. However, colour and texture of mark making is as usual exquisite :)
haha thats your aggressive minded way of seeing things coming out! uve described it like ive drawn a scene from 300! but you're right with the arse branch though it looks a bit weird still, and im not happy with that first half of the spread either, tis a learning cover though hopefully ill get it right next time. i was trying to draw without photographic sources so it looks dodge. thanks for your comments though :)
ahh its lovely! no i dont think its too bad with the branch ... i love the detailing youve got with the fabric!
ReplyDeleteLOL thats so sweet. and his pose is so cute. i really like the text too. it goes with the adorable humour really well. 8)
