Illustration Friday: Wrapped


This week's Illustration Friday topic is 'Wrapped'.

I wasn't sure what to do, and this morning I realised I only really had today to do it. So I thought about what wrapped meant to me. I settled on wrapping up warmly to brave the elements.
First thing that came to mind was camping, and in particular my experiences at music festivals. It's cold, sometimes raining. But even when it's not, it's pretty miserable at night.

I decided against colour so I could experiment with colour values, learning to get that perfect mix of shades. The grey also makes it feel cold which is what I was aiming for.

Nice job Chief Illustrator! I can certainly sympathize. Just recently went camping for a week & a half in rainy England. Cold, wet and muddy!

I do like the choices of color, keeping it very simple. The white highlights work really well, and the overall feeling is most certainly there. Like it very much.
