This week's theme at Illustration Friday is BOOK. I love books - love to read them, love to create with them. When I was young it was rare to see me without a book in my hand - I was even in the Nancy Drew book club and it was a happy, happy mail day when my book would arrive!! Therefore, BOOK seemed like a simple concept until I sat down to make something and was stumped - gave it a few days and came up with the idea to make a literal book in my art journal - from book paper!
When you open the book you see a great quote from C. S. Lewis and a girl who may be a character from within the book or perhaps she is the reader of the book - your choice!
She is colored with Copics and has fun hair or is it a turban - once again, your choice!!
Beautiful! Love the eyes and hair. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteC.S. Lewis character... maybe she's Lucy all grown up?
ReplyDeleteLove that turban! very cool!
ReplyDeleteI love that you can't tell whether she's facing forward or looking over her shoulder -- very cool angles. Is the book cover on cardstock? Very cool concept.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the text behind her, and her turban/hair.
ReplyDeleteStunning! Very interesting and lovely! Her eyes are sooo lovely!
