The wolf piece I've been working on here and there is finally finished! Pen & Ink is one of my favorite mediums so I chose to go light on the values...hoping for the line work to come through. I also added a linear effect to the wolf's lollipop to accentuate it's mystery. Maybe it emanates odors that paralyze little piglets nearby? Or maybe it's the wolf's elixir of life? Still working on that part =] Below are some details I enjoyed. I love, love, love hand lettering.

Ouuu Willie- am I lucky number 13 to comment?? Gettin' in the teeeeeens!! Looks beautiful. The value + tone looks amazing and you really got the swagger of the wolf down. Can't wait to see more Willie's Take on the Classics!
ReplyDeletei'm not sure about that purple, to me it seems to really clash with all other colors, maybe something more in the reds would fit better and still feel mysterious,
ReplyDeleteHaha love it! I think that sucker would make a nice tooth pick after diner.
ReplyDeleteBy the way I really admire your Horton DisDev.
