Mona Lisa(ish) after Sophie Griotto (sorta)

It’s nearing the end of my first semester in my illustration program, and so I should have a small slew of things to post when I get some time.  For now, here’s a painting I did in which we were to reinterpret the Mona Lisa in the style of a different illustrator.  I chose the fantastic Sophie Griotto, whose lovely website you can visit here.  I couldn’t really capture her style, as I just couldn’t mimic the loose spontaneity of her work… it’s more of a weird hybrid between her art and my usual style.  If you ignore the point of the exercise, I think it turned out okay in itself ;)

Btw, I’m going to be erasing all my book reviews, as I highly doubt anyone really cares about my opinion on books, and I update my reviews so sporadically it just ruins the flow of the blog ;)
