New drawing a did a couple of weeks ago for a contest on writer Bernard Werber's website [link] . The results came up a couple of days ago and... I won ! Already did two years ago with another illustration, check it here on deviantART : [link] .

The theme was : "illustrate humor". At first I thought it was a tricky one but after a few seconds, I came up with this idea. Although I was't sure I wanted to participate this time, the wall with a smile seemed funny enough to give it a try. I didn't draw any line to begin with but started directly in Photoshop with coarse brushes in grey tones. Then I added details, colors, more details, and that small yellow flower came along (and I'm glad it did, adds more meaning to the pic ).

So this is the way I wanted to illustrate humor ! A high, large, sad wall with a military or at least "securitarian" flavour ; a friendly face pierces it, lets light and hope come in, and things don't seem as depressing as they used to. Symbols, symbols !...
