This week’s Illustration Friday‘s topic was Magic. I’m not sure how I feel about this one. It was kind of an experiment. I printed out a picture of one of my cats onto watercolor paper, painted the hat on a seperate piece of paper, then painted the background around the cat. I was kind of rushed doing the background because my other cat (not the one in the picture) was trying to steal my paintbrushes and drink my painting water. You can’t tell in the scan, but the original is kind of glittery because I added an iridescent medium to my watercolor paint.

I discovered Illustration Friday last week. Each week there’s a different topic to illustrate. I don’t know if I’ll do this every week, but I was in the mood to draw tonight. This is the first work I’ve done since the summer that wasn’t created on a computer. I used my watercolor pencils. This week’s topic was “Adoption”.
