This is an editorial style illustration I did. Susan and I have been living with her sister and brother in-law until we move into our new house and they have a 2 year old and a 1 month old. Being around parents produces some pretty funny scenarios. Susan came up with this idea while we were brainstorming and I drew it out and we started laughing. So here is the final product.
I explored some more with line texture and randomizing some color on the mom's face. I used a sponge brush courtesy of the very talented Chris Lee. I'm really enjoying texturizing my cartoony style. I feel its giving my pieces a new richness my previous cartoons have lacked.
And finally, I had a fun time figuring out how to get those lime textures. I took a high res photo of a lime, grayscaled it, messed with the levels, and then set the layer to multiply so that the texture simply layed on top of the color. Over-all, I really enjoyed working on this piece. Learned a lot and feel great about the final product.
