Sunday painting: Sam & Suzy Moonrise Kingdom








Hello lovely people, and an extra special hello! to my new followers.
I thought I'd share with something I've been working on lately, and if you follow me on Instagram you've no doubt seen some sneaky peeks! Recently, Mark & I watched Moonrise Kingdom and fell instantly in love. I think it's probably a bit of a Marmite film, some will love it and others won't understand the fuss. Sam and Suzy are the two protagonists of the film, and quirky ones at that.

As soon as I saw their characters, I knew I'd have to illustrate them. Here are some of my progress shots from start to finish, I did this over a couple of days so the light varies in the photos (sorry!). I've been having some issues with the scanner, which does my illustrations no justice at all. If any creative folk have any tips, I'd be endlessly grateful :)

As I've mentioned before, I'm hoping to start my own Etsy shop in the not-too-distant future. I hope for Sam & Suzy to be available in a range of ways, but until then I hope you enjoy my little illustrations.

p.s. I'm struggling a little with my giveaway and what I should actually give away... what do people think of a similar giveaway to last time? Custom illustrations, only this time with something a little extra.
