New Artwork - The Owl and the Pussycat

I've been working on a new illustration for The Owl and the Pussycat while I wait for other upcoming projects. I've filled the design with painted texture and pattern, and I also wanted to create and incorporate a hand painted paisley (inspired) pattern on the boat rather than just stick to dots and stripes.




I painted this pattern in acrylic and used a pin head to print on each dot. I like to add painted elements and patterns to contrast with the smooth clean lines of digitally created shapes. Other textures have been created on textured art paper with a fairly dry paintbrush, toothbrush and edges of card loaded with paint and 'printed' onto paper.
