"Cirque Du Freak Double Page Spread Illustration"

11x17

Watercolour and Gauche on watercolour paper & Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop

Another Book Illustration project...

To be honest, i didn't put as much effort as the last one

because I had tons of other stuff to deal with T_T

I would like to call this piece a 'failure'.....

There are tons of flaws i could point out even when i was working on it,

but i didn't bother fixing those problems because i was too stressed out;

I am unhappy with the colours,

this is completely different from what i initially planned out...

Plus i regret not giving enough depth to this illustration.

and the right side of this illustration looks just WRONG

I tried making shadows and yellow spotlights but it was too much so i ended up covering the whole background with black gauche lol

It was okay until i worked on the curtain, the textbox and Larten Crepsley (the guy with a flute)

but starting from the twisting twins, things went completely out of control!!!

at least i had more fun working on this project than other boring digital assignments......

My attitude probably seems really unprofessional

but i think Enjoying what i do is the most important thing for me right now.

because this damn school is making me hate art more and more every day lol
