Working with gouache and pencil for this 3rd and final attempt to illustrate what I saw in a historically troubled place. The kittens' spots turned out to be fleas, and the spots on the wall turned out to be bullet holes. This is my final reportage illustration of a trip to Bosnia & Herzogovena
A haunting image, achieved with - among other things - a very desaturated colour pallet. And the paint strokes have a nervous, troubling feel. A very intense image - hovering between cuddly cute and frightening.
I'm assuming that's what you were after and your story needed. If so well done!
