IF - forgotten


"After Susie and Jenny became BFF's, poor Janey was just forgotten."

For Illustration Friday this week. The theme is, of course - forgotten. I made these paper dolls by hand (the fun polka dot paper is from A Muse), then I scanned them into the computer, did a drop shadow effect and put them all together on some old wallpaper. Added a few lines to suggest a room and the fury scribble over poor Janey's head. It should have been quick and easy, but that drop shadow effect gave me some trouble! I really liked the look, so I stuck with it...it just needed lots of "fixing", which was time consuming. One day I hope to be good at these illustration things and they won't take me so (bleep) long!

The feeling of being left out certainly is not very pleasant, so I understand the fury lines completely. Nicely done illustration.
