At times some teens can look quite immovable
Here is my take on this week subject for IF … and I also wanted to share with you two other ideas I had in mind, and my sketch for the final I did. I am browsing a lot of great web site these days and I realized I really enjoy seeing the “process” behind the final illustration. So here are 2 other ideas and the one sketch (yep, no 3) that I liked the most. It’s a pretty interesting subject, because so many things can be seen as “immovable”. Time, space, elephants, huge rocks, slunk, porcupine…. or just a teen boy playing on his ipod touch for hours… and hours…. and…

Cette semaine le thème de IF est: immovable. Ce qui pourrait se traduire ainsi: Impossible à bouger. Et après plusieurs visites sur des sites d’illustrateurs qui exposait leurs esquisses… je me décide et je poste ici quelques idées. J’ai pensé à une tonne de trucs pour le sujet de cette semaine: le temps, l’espace, un éléphant, une méga gros rocher, une moufette, un porc-épic et finallement, pourquoi pas un ado assis sur son sofa avec son Ipod… il me semble que c’est difficile de trouver plus immobile … hehehe.

This is so perfect! I love his slouch. Great illustration!
I wish I had a process to show you, but I just kind of did it and it was done.
Oui – c’est immovable! J’aime bien tous les textures que tu as utilisé.
Mais je dois t’avoué, quand j’ai eu mon iphone – j’avais l’air comme ça pendant quelques jours aussi. Heureusement, j’ai réussi à s’en sortir!
Salut Jen,
Bien c’est un peu beaucoup normal… quand on vient de recevoir un petit gadget comme le iphone ou autre, de devenir accro… l’important c’est comme tu dis, réussir à s’en “sortir”…
et ne pas l’emporter pour une marche dans la nature!!!
Yes, I had those moments too… where the idea just pop’s out naturally. No warning, no sketches. That’s pretty cool too!
Thanks!! I wanted to add a box of pizza (half empty) and some cola bottle at his feet but did not want it to be too “caricatural”.
this is so perfect! love teen angst and you captured it so well. he isn’t going anywhere for a long time.
This is GREAT!! Love the palette and all the elements and subtleties. This is a very sophisticated, intelligent piece. If I had an award I’d give it to you!
Thanks Erika, always nice to have your feedbacks!! Yep, he is not moving… hehehe
Ann Marie, thank you sooo much. And as for awards, all the incredibly nice feedback I get from this blog is worth all the awards in the world. So thank you.
I love your work…you are really great!
