Summer
Click image for full size.
There's nothing like the beginning of summer vacation for a child. Everything is possible, no school, no homework, just fun, fun, fun.
This was begun in Painter IX. I chose a picture of DS for the expression on his face to draw. I wanted to keep it a simple line drawing. I drew the watermelon slice in a separate group of layers. I drew a circle on a separate layer. I outlined the corona with the lasso. In photoshop, I added the text using a font called Pepita.

This comes across a bit like a giant smiley, with the position of the watermelon. It's odd - warm around the edges and cool in the centre - and has a mirror-like quality to it.
