Illustration Friday: Poise

The boy stood absolutely still, carefully poising five birds
on his head and arms.

Seeing as how I can't seem to get enough of the birds and the balancing act, I present to you the very first 'Bird Boy'. See the 'Bird Girls' here.

It's already Friday in this part of the world, but I figured I had a couple of hours before the topic over at Illustration Friday changed.

Besides, having decided to do an illustration for Illustration Friday after ages, and having worked on said illustration in brief snatches of time over the last week (while waiting for feedback from the client in between of working on the project that's currently earning me my bread and butter), I was determined to get this up no matter what.

Besides, as much as I liked Gita, I'm just really tired of having her be the latest post on this blog!

:)

Cheers,
Radha

'Gita (pronounced 'Geetha') plays the guitar'

"A guitar typically has six strings, but four, seven, eight, ten and twelve string guitars also exist."

(Source: Wikipedia)

I've kinda made a conscious decision to try and work more in this style, and see if its something I can use exclusively for children's books etc. This doesn't mean I'll stop working in the other styles though. The style in which I do editorial illustration, for eg., will remain the same and of course work in the other styles may pop up as and when the mood strikes.

Hmm.

What do you think? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

One of those days where you go...

This was me yesterday. Working on this today was almost cathartic. Funny. Maybe I should get it transfered on a t-shirt. I can wear it on days that I just feel like snapping everyone's head off.

Cheers,
Radha
