Illustration Friday- Save


"I would save my money if my darn piggy bank would stop running away from me"

I started this week's Illustration Friday from scratch! I did the sketch on Friday and worked on it until yesterday. I gave it last night to dry completely!
It's done in alkyd oils.

EDIT: If you arrived at this post because of a link on Illustration Friday for the week of August 28, there was a glitch and it is redirecting to this post, which is incorrect! If you wish to see my submission for magnify, please CLICK HERE! Thanks!

I hate it when my piggy bank runs away. At least some of the money is falling out of this one!

Great job on this!

Very cool illustration Candace. Your colors are so rich, that underpainting is really paying off. alkyd oils, what are those exactly? How are they different from run of the mill oil paints?
