Hi guys,

first of all, sorry for my painful english! I’m not so fluent but I ‘ll do my best.

Few weeks ago I went to a Tortoise concert here in São Paulo - Brazil, and inspired by the show, I decided to illustrate the title of my favorite Tortoise album. It’s called: It’s All Around You. That’s my quote.

Brainstorm/warm up:

I thought it would be cool to work the word TORTOISE shaped as a turtle’s back. (tortoise in french).

Textures:

I’ve tried some textures like printed pages scratched, ink gradients, stamp pad that I made by myself following Mary Kate’s precious tips!

I had never experienced such effects and in my opinion this class worth itself just for these tips! I believe it will open new possibilities into my work.

Colors:

I've tested two combinations, tried to limit my color palette to few colors.
