This was my entry for Illustration Friday's 'grow' theme. I was going to skip that week but I'm a illo-holic. So I thought about growing and when there might be be a time someone wanted to grow and thought of this. I drew a quick little girl and sign in pencil, inked it, and scanned it. That took 10 minutes. Then I created layers in PhotoShop, selected the background of the illo and inverted the selection. I copied it and made it the top layer and then painted it. Then I searched for a photo of a roller coaster and a photo of paper texture. I added the paper texture to the background and shaded it. Then I cropped the roller coaster photo to where I wanted it and layed it over the paper texture, changing the size to where I liked it. I changed the coaster layer to "multiply" and the opacity to 60% which gave it that nice aged feel. All that took about a half an hour, making the total time spent on the illo 40 minutes.

My submission for Illustration Friday's "grow" is from an illustration I did this week for a beautiful lady who has her own cosmetics label. The companies name fits in the open space that is the sky and all of these flowers are used in the products and are from Australian flowers that promote well being and growth. Each flower will imbue the wearer with positive feelings, will help eliminate fear and celebrate your beauty. Art is a great job because it helps you to grow as a being, you learn so much about things you might miss out on.

You're quick, I gotta tell ya! I'm always amazed when people just do these things and don't need to ponder every step for hours like I do... And then the work looks great as well.
