"It had a strong smell, but he figured he may as well eat it anyway."
I thought it would be fun to illustrate something a little bit abstract, like a strong smell. Done in acrylic.
For this study, I was trying to do a few things: First, I was experimenting with gouache and pastels on illustration board instead of the usual watercolors on watercolor paper. I also wanted to suggest the presence of the Moon without directly showing it. And I wanted to create depth and a slightly ominous mood.
