"Clear" head and mind.

Here is the an illustration I made for my first blog post, it is titled "clear". The illustration is for a weekly creative excersize called Illustration Friday it is a weekly creative outlet/participatory art exhibit for illustrators of all skill levels. The idea came after seeing that Ellen DeGeneres commercial where she is meditating and trying to clear her mind. I painted the the background using some water color and then scanned the painting in and found a photo of a women meditating and reduced the photo to just the white parts I wanted and placed that over the painted background. I then added some type and scanned in a bubble I drew and added some type to finish it all off.
