Description
So I watched this really informative documentary about what its like to live off of a dollar a day in Guatemala, (or less) and it inspired me to make this, Mostly marker and pen, with colored pencils and gouache paint. Looks more African, but oh well.it's a a few inches bigger then a postcard.
I was thinking about making cards like this and selling them and donating all the money to Guatemalan education, or help with microfinances. (just a loose thought) This was sort of my test to try out the style I was imagining. I'm making a blue themed one at the moment.
What do you guys think? I got a bit messed up in the torso shape and coloring her skin.
Heres a trailer for the documentary www.youtube.com/user/Livingono…
definetly a great film to watch!
I used Netflix.

The different thinkness of the lines give her a very expressive look. And the yellow highlights are such a great touch. Nice job dusty :3

Thanks$$ (My exclamation point button broke so pretend the money signs are exclamation points) XD
I actually wasn't going to have any yellow highlights, but I kept messing up on her skin tone so I thought, I'll add the yellow to add contrast and distract from her discoloration, But I'm glad it worked out, haha thanks again$

Aah, what a lovely face! I really adore her expression, great job! The colours are fantastic, and the style is excellent
Fantastic idea to add all the black lines, they work very well here. They make the drawing interesting.
More of this!!
And I think it's a very nice idea with the donating!
Looking forward to the blue one
