Jump

A start from scratch effort for this week’s Illustration Friday theme. Couldn’t get Van Halen’s “Jump” out of my head when considering options so there’s a passing reference in there. Typical, I think, of any type of signature style that’s developing at the moment. Adobe Illustrator.

Pencil/Illustrator and Photoshop.
