Illustration Friday - Propagate

This week for Illustration Friday I did a pen illustration and colored it digitally
in PhotoShop. It's so much fun playing around in PhotoShop, a software
with endless possibilities.
Print of this illustration came out as I expected...I'm in love with it!

It will be added to the shop tomorrow.
Here is the original illustration in pen on 8.5"x11"paper.

What an amazing print! And the printout as well, it's sometimes hard to get a decent print made, what printer do you use? Hope you don't mind me asking :)

Gorgeous illustration, I can see why you were happy with the print!

JooJoo said...

Thanks a lot for your kind comments! Big big hugs!!

Thanks a lot dear Lina! :) My printer is: Epson Stylus Photo R2880. I'm not sure if they still make it, maybe newer models are in the market, but any Epson printer with "UltraChrome K3™ with Vivid Magenta" inks is great for printing artwork.

Amalia K said...

This is just SO pretty, pretty, pretty!! I noticed that you're related to Xovika? Wow, all those creative genes in one family... I'm so jealous! (^_^)

Isabelle said...

I am the 32th comment so by this time you know that your illustration is amazingly beautiful! hehehe but still wanted to tell you that it is a real joy to discover your style and your blog! (and yes, Photoshop is an amazing tool, but it is the artist who make the result so personnal and special.) :)

Little Lina said...

Thank you for answering my question JooJoo! I find your work just so full of life, it's a joy to see your newest pieces on flickr, your blog or etsy!
