Walking The Dog

Trying to be colourful in different ways - but I really like the concept of weird things walking what would be their dog equivalent haha, it may become a vague series

I wanted to do a mixed media background and throw everythng that was around in it. There's acrylics, ink, food dye, tissue, alot of glue, aluminium foil, pencil, soap, icing sugar, salt, pepper, and then I sprayed it with perfume. I'm surprised the paper held. ...Most of it was completely superfluous but it was fun to just shake pepper into it lol. Should try it some time. Even if youre not planning for it to stick, as soon as you finish your work just grind some pepper onto it.

The alien and its dog was done in coloured pencil and then glued over the top. Most of the green was "fixed" in PS because the scanner hates dense blocks of coloured pencil, and needs to be kicked in the power button.

Hope you like!
