Acrylic narrative illustration: This is the only illustration I have ever re-painted. The first illustration was done years ago with colored pencil on pastel paper. At the time I loved the piece and it has been in my portfolio longer than most others. Then, when I switched to acrylic as my main medium, the original piece didn’t fit with the rest of my portfolio, but I loved it so much, I wanted to keep it alive. So, having grown in my drawing skills I redrew the original drawing, exactly the same, but with a few improvements, and repainted it in acrylic. Now I feel comfortable continuing to use it in my portfolio for, hopefully, a long time to come.
