So.... we had to do a large illustration. I decided to go with a watercolor of a rooster. I spent so long looking for the pperfect image! Alas here it is. I chose the rooster because it has so many dimensions to the color and texture. So I found the imageI wanted but the background was completely ugly, so I tried to create a light woodland feel to play up the colors of the rooster. I also had some mettalic watercolor which came in handy with the shiny luster of the copper colored feathers and the silver fence. The fence was its own battle because of the perspective and the drawing is a little wonky, but hey don't look too closely :) The green kinda covers it up. I had a little problem also with how the color adhered to the illustration board but the effect grew on me. Next time I'll use a sponge.
