Here’s my Illustration friday picture -Mesmerizing.
Mesmerizing
I used water colours and then some markers and then because I think I messed it up , I put a warming filter on it in Photo shop to clam it down. Here’s the original sketch that I drew and painted while watching X-factor , Up all night and Modern family….. too many shows to watch.
original
I hated that big purple mark on her left side.
On a different note, this a monkey picture I’m working on. I have a series of them… i ever get anything finished.
Don’t be scared , I haven’t put eyes on her yet. I’m not leaving it that way. I’m not sure why. I think I’m scared !!!! Of ruining it, Because I quite like how it’s turning out. Silly I know.
Monkey see no evil!!!!!!

I’m not sure you messed it up. However, now you have a bright modern and a warm old-fashioned mesmerizing version.
