Women's Day 2019 Illustration

This was a fortunate accident, that I decided to make this strawberry illustration just before Women's Day. Lately I've been dabbling in food illustration, mostly fruits and vegetables for now.

This was also the first time I had used a refillable water brush, and while I'm not such a fan of sinthetic brushes, it really did help speed up the process. Of course I added color pencil on top, in an attempt to make it even more realistic. This succeded, altough it did take away from the freshness the watercolor alone provided. The ones I'm most proud of are probably the last set, on the lower right corner.

This was my attempt to make a more children's illustration inspired image, but with scenes that portray grown-ups. I don't know if I'd continue using this style,but it was a fun exercise.

If one day I'd illustrate a children's book maybe I could look back to it for reference.

Speaking of which, I didn't use any reference for this, just a simple sketch from my imagination, that I redrew a couple of times, and then colored.

The idea is that of Small Daily Scenes, and it goes together with the Valentines one.
