Doodles



I love Stina Persson’s watercolors. One of her illustrations is in the latest Cookie magazine. Taking inspiration from her work, I took a stab at illustrating a gum drop. It’s a really fun process because you can only do so much before the paper is saturated...then you wait for it to dry. Sometimes, the results are surprisingly better. Other times, the watercolor just looks overworked. I'm still trying to figure out how she gets the subtle gradients where two colors bleed together.
