grrrrr


so this is a little sneak peak into my sketchbook for the 2012 world tour of the Sketchbook Project. Its getting there, slowly but surely in true "Rachel" fashion (procrastination happens to be one of my many talents, but i promise i have more than just this dps!).
Im thinking of adding some colour to this one. but i dunno, the black and white fineliner illustrations have always been my favorite. the comic book, cartoon, quirky style. i like the simplicity of it, no bright colours needed to make it interesting or eye catching. just simple pen to paper. good quality paper. even better!
This illustration is inspired by the imagination of a child. how children pick up on visuals around them and create new characters and environments based on the reality they see. These creatures have elements of childrens toys, an element that plays a pretty big role in a child's daily life. The buttons, the top hat, the stitched detail, all add quite a sweet element to the illustration. also fine detail is my favorite :)
