Merry Christmas!!! Hope you've all had a wonderful day whatever you did. Its a quiet one for me but I think that's nice sometimes. This illustration is of a family sitting down for Christmas Dinner. The dad is carving the turkey. The mum and grandad are raising a toast and one of the daughters and the grandma are pulling a Christmas cracker to tell a terrible joke and wear a ripped paper crown that never fits. It was done in watercolours and fine liner. I painted it in my moleskin sketchbook. I maybe would change the blue walls to another colour but oh well, too late now. I wanted to do a nice full illustration to put in my portfolio and with lots of characters interacting with each other and a full family.
What is your Christmas Dinner like? Whats your favourite item on the table?
