Whistle

Whistle

A boy and a bird, both singing their song to each other. I have tried this, whistling back to the birds I hear, but they never respond. =P

Just a simple little thing I did, kind of a different style but I like it. Was fun to do. =D
Used sepia ink for the characters and border, then added a texture and the music notes in the background with Photoshop. Hope you like it! =3

Whistle belongs to the following groups:

Art and Stories Made For Children, Cutest of the Cute, Illustration - Artwork for narrative content and Sepia-Toned

    We have a saying, “less is more” and although this is simple when compared to your more detailed work, it is very effective. I’m gong to have to change the name of my Favourites list to Ine Spee’s artwork :)) Goodnight!

    Thank you!
    I had been thinking about making it into a Tshirt, but I’m unsure how to go about this (as in, should I remove the background and keep only the boy, bird and music? And if so, where should I place it? etc.) I might give it a try though. =)
