Zoo

Flamingo -- digitized color

This is my submission for Illustration Friday’s theme, Zoo.

I went to the zoo again yesterday for a meeting, but my coworkers were happy enough to wander around for a few minutes. I drew more flamingos. This is my first attempt at scanning a sketch and coloring it digitally in Illustrator (as opposed to Photoshop). Flamingos are so iconic and they lend themselves to a flat, graphic style.

  1. Gorgeous. You’re absolutely right about the idea and the shape of flamingos lending themselves to the medium.

  3. Would make a great T-shirt print! Would love to see a Yellow-billed Magpie design in a similar vein. I should really be heading into the office, but still have a couple of weeks of your blog to catch up on!

  4. That came out beautifully. Iconic is the perfect word to describe your image.
