Although, the concept isn’t new for me as an illustrator. I’ll go through my computer and clean house from time to time. Sometimes I’ll come across an old illo that I like, but feel it can be updated (made over).

This is one of those occasions. I found this young woman I illustrated a few years ago. Still liked the concept, but I felt that the final outcome could be improved.

So last night I began working on this woman (I haven’t named her). A lift here, change the line there, new color here—and so far it’s still a work in progress. Only because I have other responsibilities and obligations.

For now I will post the work in progress, just for the hell of it. I’ll even do a before and after so you can see the difference between both concepts.
