Illustration Friday: Citrus

Here's a little something that I painted in Photoshop for this week's Illustration Friday.  I tried a more graphic, contemporary style this time around, and had lots of fun playing with the polygon lasso tool.  I first tried to paint her eye open, but it turned out a bit too freaky-looking for me.  I gave up after my third try and painted a closed eye instead.  I think the illo would read a bit better with an open eye, so someday, I'll come back and fiddle with it again.  But that day's not today, hehe.



I did another quick illustration, for the "citrus" theme, using a similar palette of colors.  Oscar just loves the smell of oranges, and sometimes he's lucky enough to get a small piece for a treat.  The illustration shows a rabbit (Oscar, perhaps?  hehe) looking up at a fruiting orange tree.  I think I am going to paint it on canvas, and hang it in Oscar's corner of the apartment.

Wow I love the rabbit!! Beautiful composition. It would look amazing on canvas :-D

Wowsers! It's been a while since we chatted! I love these, though - your colors are so nice together! I bet Oscar would love his own dreamy "portrait"!!!

Did you try a side gaze, instead of straight on? I've always found straight eyes challenging, too though! And unless you're going for it, creepy's jut creepy! LOL
