Day 10/21 Creative Exercise


Thank you to everyone who dropped by with comments on my mice sketches. Spurred me on to start working on them in color. I painted the mice by hand, scanned them into my computer and then worked on them in photoshop and added the digital background. Hope to get a couple more up before I leave on Friday for New York.

Oh, they are so, so cute! It was great to hear how you did the illustration, both by painting by hand and adding the background digitally. The end result is perfect!

Good luck at Surtex! :-)
