Alice at the Skate Park

Another range for Circus Pony that I illustrated based on the original Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland Tenniel illustrations. My Alice has a bit more attitude. I used a fine line black pen on paper, scanned it, Photoshopped the images and and grabbed some playing card graphics from a stock photography site. I have drawn using black pen since I was old enough to hold a pencil.

I designed this by folding an A0 piece of paper into squares, like a map, and then doodling on each square. I had no plan, I just wanted to do it as a way to have fun and not think about what I was making. My work is often meticulous so it is nice to work in a loose way. I had a loose idea of a story about a girl who works in a puppet theatre learning to skateboard.
