Making 'NIGHT'

So this is the scan of my original sketch after I had inked it. I then whacked that into illustrator, saved it 16 times into 19 different formats and.....
...removed all the bits that aren't going to be white (or red) in the end picture. Once I'd done that I filled everything that wasn't inside one of those areas with black to come up with the end result which should be right under this post (or alternatively click here)

32. NIGHT

Interesting to do this one. All the black is basically me pressing 'fill' in Illustrator. I'd feel more guilty about this (like instead of painting it with ink and a brush I guess) but the drawing of the original image that I scanned presented enough of a challenge to reduce my guilt to a dull throb. Plus - these days - things like Illustrator can surely be put in the same basket as pens and pencils (particularly as the figures and composition are all mine and all hand drawn).

29. HAPPINESS

My Daughter. Happiest person on Earth. Responsible for a significant portion of my own happiness. Happiness.

28. SORROW

Quite happy with the button pressing. Not at all sure about the rest. I mean 'Sorrow'. What would I know about sorry. Also - don't bother trying to figure what the co-ordinates are - totally made them up.
