This week’s submission for Illustration Friday theme: Flawed.
I incorporated the concept of the flawed body image into the work by appropriating Velazquez’s painting “Venus at her Mirror” with the modern day context of cosmetic surgery. Not sure if it works or not, but I’m kind of happy with it.
I switched between photoshop and painter for this, using the pastel and blender tools in painter with the brush tools in photoshop for the sketching.
This a very cool picture. I couldn’t possibly say what it “means” but it’s very intriguing to look at. Beautiful too.
Great work and idea.
Love it
Nice work! I really like it :)
Beautiful illo and technique! Well done!
