The Wonderful sketch I used is from last weeks sketch challenge SC188.
I went a little color crazy on Juggles hair...but it reminded me of wig my daughter wore for Halloween years ago....lol...she could wear any color clothes with that wig..and it looked perfect.
The clown is colored with prismacolor pencils(oms) and H20's...acrylic white paint for accents.
The little hat, flower and the clown is popped up with dimentionals.
I used diamond glaze on the balls and buttons on his coveralls. His nose is a red dew drop.
The background is made by masking the image and brushed on with a inked soft brush.....barely bananna for the yellow and bordering blue for under Juggles feet.
The sentiment on the tag "have fun" is part of a high hopes sentiment...."Gorillas just want to have fun!"
Thanks for looking!!
