I think I tore a muscle this morning during my pilates excercise. I could hardly walk the whole day and even sitting on my chair hurts like hell. So I decided I could at least have a little time off with a private drawing.

You have probably heard of the amazing blog "Draw Serge!" [link] already. If not you are in for a treat. Not only does it commemorate the amazing artist that was Serge Gainsbourg but it is full of lots and lots of beautiful illustration contributed by many different amazing illustrators.

So this is my contribution. I am quite happy with it, I feel that I have pushed my style a little bit further in the direction I want to pursue. There are less gradients than in my other work, I avoided excessive detail and I like that the shapes are more abstract and expressive. I also enjoyed doing a caricature quite a bit, I'll definitely want to do more in that genre (is that the correct term?).

This is my color sketch. The piece actually had a black background until it was finished my boyfriend suggested i turn it of, which instantly made it look 40% more powerful - maybe even 47% ;) so I kept it.

Nein, wie cool. Die beiden funktionieren ja super zusammen! Hehe, und dieses Kleid (?)... Passt ebenfalls sehr gut.

Ich finde die Hände toll. :)

oh wow, what a sexy piece. He's so morbid and decreped, and she's so sleek and sexy, as the smoke just spins around the two. WOW! AMAZING
Sorry about tearing your arm. If it helps I tore something in my ankle, don't know what, but I got 7 blisters over it.

Thank you, I'm happy you like it! :hug: I always wanted to do something a little more sinister. :)
Sorry about your ankle, that sounds painful! Hope you get better soon, I am finally feeling better today.
