Charcoal drawing for A & B




This is something I've been meaning to post since I did it in September but just haven't gotten around to it until now.
I stayed with two very dear friends A & B in their lovely flat in Barcelona in September. To say thank you for having me I made them this charcoal drawing on canvas. I made a bit of a mess doing it in their living room but I think they were happy in the end. :-)

Alis Pelleschi illustration



Self directed illustration of photographer extraordinaire & self confessed chip-butty lover & booty shaker Alis Pelleschi.
Decided to create the portrait after stalking her facebook page for about 3 days. (we've never actually met)
Hope you like it! I might create some different colourways soon...

Created using pencils & paper then scanning it in and manipulating some bits of the drawing & the colours on Photoshop. See details below...

PS. MERRY CRIMPS
