4. Process Post: Chicken Licken



I thought it's about time that I post the process I used for this illo. It's my entry to the Tomie dePaola contest. You can see my original post here.


I had a lot of fun with Chicken Licken! 



Here are the antagonists of the story. I really believe this is what my Chihuahua thinks the squirrels are up to. He finds them very suspicious.


Here you can see the grass and bushes, the characters, the squirrels, the trees, & some of the collage. I painted/collaged everything separately, then assembled them in Photoshop.



I painted all of the characters in acrylic. N

5. Collage it up!


I've been working to change my style for at least a year now. I think I'm finally getting close to something I love. I still have some ideas on how to push it further, but I'm really happy with where this is going. I've added some collage to this illo.


This is the original version I submitted for the Illustrator's Day assignment for Disney/Hyperion Art Director, Joann Hill.
