Zoe and her Mandarin Duck
I've literally just put the finishing touches on this illustration in the form of the little heron flying away in the background. This is of course based on Zoe aka The London Lipgloss, who I have illustrated many times before because I think she's lovely. I thought she would be sailing around a pond on a mandarin duck because I see her as a fairly colourful person and these ducks are beautifully vibrant too! Please let me know what you think!

The way you made the water is awesome, and I love the color tones in this piece!
ReplyDeleteIf you need some new shows to watch I think Brooklyn Nine-Nine is pretty funny, I watch a bunch more but I just can't think of them right now!
This is absolutely exquisite. The colours and textures of the duck are especially impressive. Truly one of your best (I'm sure I say that all the time).
