I've shown this illustration before but thought it fitted this week's
mysterious theme too. This started life as a a watercolor that was allowed to dry with plastic wrap on top. The plastic formed patterns in the paint in which I then 'found' these characters and defined them with watercolour crayons. A fun doodling exercise I do from time to time!

Here's another I've just finished - lots of strange hooded figures seemed to be within patterns formed by the plastic wrap - it's a mystery how they get there!
The first one looks like garden goblins. They both look very mysertious.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking mysterious forest creatures..... The Enchanted Forest.
