I finished a spread for Thunder today, so it was fun to sit down this evening and splash around some watercolour paint to create a cheerful parrot (not of this world) and put him onto a book cover for the 52 Week Illustration Challenge. The theme this week is BOOK COVER. It’s a subject close to my heart, and normally I would spend longer than this on it… lovingly tweaking and twiddling each letter and feather. But a quick job is a good job until I am up-to-date in all areas. So here it is.
I don’t think I’ve got that craving for colour out of my system yet… who knows where it might lead…

Thank you Kate. I was in such a hurry I used the colours that were already on the watercolour palette so it must have been good luck!
