Every so often my children's illustration agent comes up with themes for the illustrators she works with to make into a promo piece. This month's theme, "Cars & Trucks" seemed like something I really wasn't interested in, until I made it into something I'm interested in.
Gouache on 300lb hot press paper, + minor Photoshop tweaks. Worked on the final painting for the length of 4 Disneys, 3 Miyazakis, and 1 Don Bluth, which believe it or not all fit into less than 24 hours somehow...
