This is another illustration (in progress) with my little girl. I wanted it similar to the painting I just finished. This time Lily Blu is riding a giant fish. To keep the focus on her she is the only realistic figure in the illustration. The fish and surroundings are graphic – simple lines and very “flat”.
As before (with the other painting of hers) I based the illustration on an existing photo rather than taking a photo based on my sketch. None of the photos I had really would work with my idea so I had to puzzle together several photos in photoshop. Not really ideal but it worked. She just wouldn’t model for me 🙂 I guess at age 3 there are more important things to do!
Below is the digital image that I use for reference:
