Hats_and_Scale

Watercolor & Sharpie - Click Image to Enlarge

Since I already have a large list of makeup topics to post, I decided to combine last week's with this week's instead of making the list even longer.

This is also a bit different from the norm as there is minimal digital content. The original is on 11.5"x16" cardstock, sketched with a red pencil, lined with a Sharpie, then colored with watercolors. Since the paper was too big for the scanner, I had to scan it in two pieces. Reconnecting and a little histogram adjustment were the only digital part of it this week. (Oh, and I added the signature post-scan as well.)

Funny illustration.. i guess the sombrero will also stop the alligator from eating him. :)

Great! Good to see you exploring a 'new' medium. It's kinda ironic that digital is old medium. ;-)

Do lizards have scales? I am assuming so. Gives this double/double meaning.

P.S. -- You may be onto something here. With such busy schedules, combine two weeks topics into one! Might make an added challenge to boot.

Great critters! I especially like the expression on the little Gila dude (that's what he is, yes?).
