Psychedelic Butterfly

This years University Summer Project included the task of creating 7 very different characters, influenced by 7 different artists/illustrators. This psychedelic butterfly was inspired by Louis Wain's cat drawings. I created this illustration using watercolour paints. Without doubt this is the most colourful illustration I have ever produced! For someone who avoids colour, I actually quite enjoyed painting this fun, sinister character.  

Summer Project 2011

Part of last years Illustration Summer Project was to collect 10 interesting objects, from second hand and charity shops, and record them through observational drawings. Two of my chosen objects were a Pilot Bear and a Grecian statue.
