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 love your Illo! I checked out your other illo’s and photography, they are great! You’re very talented! Thanks for leaving a comment by the way:)
I like that you left the crowd black. It makes the illustration interesting.
OMG! it worked. Thank you so much for commenting on my illo. Yours is ultra cool (i can’t believe i typed that, i’m 33 for pete’s sake) Your’s looks like a photo. Btw. the C’s are for my family name. We are all very close, a liittle too close sometimes. Thank you again.

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!
supreme ultra cool…love it…the concept is great and reminds me of the Dr. Suess book “Fish out of Water” my personal fav.
This is a great idea and Composition! COLOR TOO! lol
Nice! I love the size of the fish; it is perfect.
