Illustration Fri. "Poise"


"Her legendary poise was about to be put to the test ..."
I'm still experimenting with media. This one's a blend of watercolor, gouache, and pastel on hot-pressed watercolor paper. I like this mixture a lot.

Nice to see another IF from you! Great expression the old dear's face! I really like HP paper too - sadly can't buy it here in Malaysia:(

Hotpressed watercolor paper is my favorite. Love this illustration--I can totally imagine this character is action.

Hi David, How's it going? Thanks for the comment. I hadn't noticed that you were doing Illustration Friday, but it's great to see more of your work. This one is my favorite - very funny (yet subtle) expression on her face.
