Illustration Friday: Dance

I was going to sell this dancing Guinea pig but I'm going to keep it instead! It turned out better than I thought. I really think it's because I used 300lb watercolor. I am beginning to really love this weight as it doesn't buckle, doesn't need to be stapled down and is very absorbant. If you let a little paint "sit" on your paper with water you can get all sorts of interesting effects. Plus, it's more forgiving when you need to scrub out a color, etc.



Oddly, I'm listening to Flashdance "What a feeling". It's fitting.
