Illustration Friday: Shadows
For this week's Illustration Friday picture, I went with a mixed media approach.
That means I couldn't make up my mind. I started in pen-and-ink, but then thought the shadows would be better depicted in a wash. I used watercolor for that, but only for that. In order to get my witness character to show up a bit more in the dark, I brought her out with colored pencil. I also used some warm yellow colored pencil to set off the cold shadow drama.
I may try more mixed media work in future. I kinda like it.
