Illustration Friday: Crowded
Project
Come up with an illustration for “Crowded” for Illustration Friday. I have been looking at the site for a while and kept putting off doing anything because everything there is so amazing. But. One gets better with practice, right?
Mechanics
Illustrator CS. I reused the fish from another project. I drew in the people with a pencil and filled in with black. Why pencil and not pen? Maybe because my last Illustration project was with pencil. I made the fish really big because goldfish grow to the size of their container, but this one grew bigger. I put a crowd of people in front for… well, another crowd!
And then…
I want to turn the fish so he’s looking at the crowd. Like “Hi, I’m watching you too…” but maybe next time. Heh.

I like that you left the crowd black. It makes the illustration interesting.

I like how none of the subjects quite fit within the frame the image – definitely getting across “crowded”.

Nice! I like your approach to breaking down your projects into mechanics etc., I wish I was that organised! I just started drawing again & have yet to find ‘my’ style!
