clean

Clean
My Illustration Friday attempt for "clean".

Come dirty, tired, cold, sad, sick or just bored, standing under a nice hot shower magically drains it all away.

that is absolutely awesome flossy! I love the palette and use of the dotted line, and how the background is a big drop. the figure is amazing too. You'd better watch out or you'll be 'the pick' two weeks in a row!!

Yes, a long shower good for so many things, your illo demonstrates that well

Showers have gotta be one of the richest blessings of earthly life, hey? I mean, materially speaking.

And a beautiful illustration!

interesting take on the topic

Wow ~ this is such a cool illustration! There's always something deeper here at flossy-p. I love how it appears she has on an evening gown and the giant water drop is a great way to encompass the whole painting. Also like the indication of limbs without being too literal.

This is yet another truly wonderful painting! The limited palette shows a great contrast between clean and dirty...she seems to wear the "dirtiness" like a gown, which suggests that she's washing away more than the day's dust...the shower enclosers her like a big droplet, creating a very cool composition...and finally, the dotted lines add just the right linear touch to the otherwise more fluid looking shapes. You do wonderful work!

A very thought-provoking illustration, and very well rendered.

Oh wow! This is fantastic! You are truly finding your unique style and voice. I am loving this composition and the way you have communicated the seperation of clean from dirty. Clever and beautiful. Bravo!

And congrats on being the pick of the week for "opposites"! You defenitely deserve the recognition. Way to go!

Argh!
Similar idea to my own but i'm not even half way through painting it. Damnit. I really shouldn't look at other people's work till mines finished. Now i'll feel like i've copied. Even though the feel is very different. Wonderful art work. Really beautiful lines.
