The idea for this fun cute illustration of a couple's dinner date came after a nice weekend spent with the boyfriend, and I was just randomly doodling in the sketchbook.
It's made entirely with colored pencils, and the focus was more on the style rather than the idea (now as I'm writing this a few months later I'm discovering that maybe it should be the other way around - a powerful image needs more message. The depth here would be greater if this were included in some sort of a visual diary, or if the proportions of the characters was more that of adults maybe).
I was also inspired by German storybook illustrator Eve Tharlet, in particular the way she draws the eyes and makes people's heads bigger.
