Title: “It’s a Small World”
Description: This illustration is my interpretation of the popular idiom – it’s a small world. The illustration depicts two people meeting in/on a small world surrounded by hanging stars and draped background. I used Photoshop to create the multiple layers in the composition - Using different brushes, in varying sizes and textures I was able to achieve this gestural, alcohol marker style which I believe pair well with the playful nature of this piece.
