Illustration Friday: Suspense


A piece I did for an illustration workshop that I attended several months ago - seemed appropriate for this week's IF theme. We were supposed to attempt to mimic the style of another illustrator that we admired ... not sure if I got it right, but it was an interesting exercise.

Ha! The turtle is "suspending" the rabbit. And, the image is suspenseful!
Nice work

Great illustration. One reason that makes me like it may be the fact that I do not like rabbits, but I think the main reason is that it is a great drawing. Nice expressions of the characters!

Great illustration of "suspense!" I love the lines.

We'll see how lucky that rabbit's foot is! Good illustration along with the rest you have here. :)

Great illustration! I'm curious: Who was the illustrator who's style you did mimic here?

Koosje - I was trying to capture Gris Grimly's style (are you familiar with his work?). In the end, it still felt like one of my own drawings with a couple of "Grimly flourishes". It's an interesting way to analyze another illustrator's technique/approach, though.
