Tadpole Tea - a Photoshop experiment.

I have decided to do a little series of these images of Rhian and I when we were kiddy winks, as they're really fun to do and I'm full of ideas for them! This illustrates the times we used to fish tadpoles out of our pond with old teacups, to check on how many legs they had grown as they turned into little frogs.

I was very brave this week - experimenting with painting in Photoshop, instead of my usual Illustrator vector work and was surprised to find that I actually really enjoyed it... maybe even more than Illustrator! It felt like a much more organic way of working, less technical. I will definitely be keeping up the Photoshop painting along side using Illustrator.

Loving it! It looks more like a picture book illustration... There is something more traditional about it... traditional but modern!! Keep brushing away Ellis!

Thanks Bazza! I agree, it felt much more painty and less technical and I think thats reflected in the image. Going to keep practicing and see how it goes!
