Illustration Friday-Renewal
This is my entry for Illustration Friday's "Renewal" topic. Why a starfish? Actually is a "sea star". Sea stars renew themselves if they lose a leg, or are torn into pieces. They can regenerate. Fisherman used to hate sea stars and would tear them into two pieces to try and kill them...when really they were doubling the number of sea stars.
Have been doing IF topics for a while...and hope to get back into it.
Per my usual, I drew the lines and shapes in Freehand, painted a background and combined in Photoshop.
Love to hear your thoughts!
