I don’t believe it! It’s Friday already!! Seems like it’s always down to the wire for me. This illustration, like oh so many before it, will be on Illustration Friday for exactly … ‘UH OH! Did you blink?’ seconds. This one’s for the topic, CAUTION. … Obviously not something displayed by me, ie someone way too tired to be attempting humour. Best I write a little more about it tomorrow. Yep, tomorrow or maybe Sunday… yawn! Nighty night.

Thanks so much for all the gorgeous feedback, it’s such a thrill! : D
Yoon See, in answer to your question ~ It’s a combination of hand painting and digital. I try to keep the digital elements down to a minimum because I like the idiosyncrasies of handmade and it forces me to loosen up and appreciate mucking in, if you know what I mean. : ) The linework is done in indian ink. The background is done in ink on heavyweight paper. And all the elements are combined in Photoshop, where I do some digital painting as well.
Hope that all makes sense, thanks for your interest.

Oh my goodness! How precious and delicious all at the same time!!!! OH, but I love the characters. Even the unseen face of Mama. The line is marvelous and the colors are so yummy and beautifully done. Great work. Thanks so much for stopping and leaving a comment. I appreciate it.
What a wonderful way of illustrating caution! You nailed the expression on the childs face, amazing. Fantastic illo, you have SUCH style!
Really inspiring.
Love your linework!
Love your colour and pattern used here too.
I don’t study graphic, so I wouldn’t know how the pen line width is different.
Really beautiful!
Is this a handpainted piece or digital piece?
El rostro de este niño es hermoso…Buen trabajo!

If I were you I wouldn’t mind posting your link again, for this week’s topic. In the past I thought this is a no-go but now I think noone will blame you. I too did it this week.
