Frog-on-the-Blog

Did this a few months ago - naturally inspired by one of my zoo photographs - originally planned as an exhibit piece. It soon became apparent it was becoming too illustrative for the exhibition, so illustration it became. Only now does the yellow frog leap on to the blog (and actual exhibition pieces will come soon). A mixture of traditional and digital - you can really see the deliberate marker pen marks on some of the leaves. Drawn out first on textured paper I kept colouring a bit more traditionally before I was happy enough with the trad-digi balance. Another good chance to see what can work and what can't with my illustration styles.

May already? Yikes.
