So it's that time of year! Tax time always rolls around at the same time I have to submit my new ad to the Directory of Illustration - which always gets me thinking about other ways to advertise. This year i decided to draw a new teen piece which I'll put in my DI26 ad and I will also use on some postcard mailers. I came up with this drawing of just a group of teens hanging in front of a case of gelato, lol. What can I say, I love food! I wanted to show off my style of drawing teens - and I wanted it to be more teen, then pre-teen (which is what I am assigned a lot). I also wanted to show off my fashion sense - I feel like a lot of the times, I other teen illustrators don't really pay attention to the fashion scene, and fashion is something that really defines teens, no matter what group they hang out with.
So here's my new piece, which I creatively call Gelato Gang!
I'm very happy about how it turned out! I think it really capturs my style and creative vision. Yay!
