illustration friday: 'save' (or 'i've got a pocket full of pretty green')

illustration friday: SAVE


I am so glad i scanned this before adding the wash. Yes, i added a bad greeny-blue wash to it, and it looks bad bad baby, bad as in not good mate. So while you might think that the theme for illustration friday 'SAVE' refers to the money supposedly saved here, it actually refers to the fact i saved this before going on to deface the original with sea-green. So there.

Don't go giving me evils!

Nice! I do love the color and the image! Agreed about the harder to draw than withdraw bit...that was clever.

I am always happy when I scan my original black and whites which I try to do faithfully. I always have this fear of botching a drawing when I add color.

I so know the feeling! Very nice job, by the way.

Who said money should be green anyway? I really like the lines and the color of your money ;o)

Grazie mille, y'all! Yes i wanted blue because the old five pound notes (with the duke of wellington on, i seem to recall) in the uk were blue (blue tenners some people called them).
