'FACES"

Playing around with

the Jinn's face.

Illustrator.

Looking like a Chagall window....

JINN (under the INFLUENCE?)

THIS CONTENT GENIE

looks like he's stuck in

a Tanqueray bottle

or

a bottle of

Bombay Saphire.

Illustration Friday's word is 'influence.'

It's a painting with

an interesting texture.

The background is alkyd oil.

I pressed a hard pencil onto the dry surface

to draw the genie (jinn) and

describe the bottle's shape.

The I masked off the simple shape

and rubbed oil pastel over 

the depressed design.

THEN

gouache is flowed into the

drawing's grooves.

after fixing I

give him an exotic locale 

with a

23 carat gold minaret/parrapet

combo.

Here's a close-up of

black and orange and white gouache

on the oil pastel surface.
