forced marriage

every two weeks i'm going to try to do an editorial illustration based on an article of my choosing. anyway my first assignment is an article about muslim school girls in France who are sent off over the summer and are forced into marriage. this is the article: New school year puts French on forced marriage alert

a couple sketches:



i ended up going with the second sketch, i liked the composition more. and then i did a more detailed sketch, and some digital experimentation which i think is kind of funny, not really my style...




and for the final i worked in layers which is a new way of working for me. not digital layers but velum layers, which was fun. first i did the drawing in pencil on velum, then i did two color layers with color pencil on velum, and layered them in photoshop...




i cropped the drawing a bit and the final is at the top...

back in action!

hello, i am back in new york and back to the real world. but things are in disarray. my scanner is broken, my camera cord is in cyprus, and so i have no way to post drawings at the moment. so instead i will post some pretty pictures i took in cyprus. can you see the mountain goats?

remember when internet was slow and not easily accessible?

well on the island of Cyprus it is still like that. So if it seem I have disappeared off the face the earth ( or just the internet ) it is because I am on this island...
