Illustration Friday – Clumsy (#5)
So there’s this cool website called Illustration Friday -
Illustration Friday is a weekly illustration challenge. A topic is posted every Friday and then participants have all week to come up with their own interpretation.
Basically a one word topic is picked, and then artists come up with pieces based on the theme. This week’s theme is clumsy. I looked up the online definition of clumsy, and one of the definitions was awkwardly constructed, so I came up with the above concept. It’s an all digital piece.

Thank you! It is a combination – I used photo references (you can see the originals in the links below), but the idea I was trying to go for was sort of a The City Of Lost Children feel, if you are familiar with that movie.
