Promise this is my last post of the day...

I don't know if it's my love of Disney, my interest in classical cartoons or my passion for comic books but whenever I paint (or draw for that matter) I prefer to use flat, block colour with big thick black outlines. It's a lot harder than it looks, it is incerdibly frustrating trying to get every single centimetre of paint completely flat and with as little evidence of crush strokes as possible... It's definately worth the hassle though. I love this style of painting and it's why I love the old school pop artists such as Lichtenstein and Warhol. 
  This particular painting is of a photograph I took of my friend Jessica Bailey. In it she is modelling a denim jacket I made myself. This is one of my favourite paintings I have ever done and I think it shows off the fact that I am quite a good colourist as well (I apologise for the poor quality of the photo, it's much more impressive in real life... Promise!):
