This was my entry for Illustration Friday's 'grow' theme. I was going to skip that week but I'm a illo-holic. So I thought about growing and when there might be be a time someone wanted to grow and thought of this. I drew a quick little girl and sign in pencil, inked it, and scanned it. That took 10 minutes. Then I created layers in PhotoShop, selected the background of the illo and inverted the selection. I copied it and made it the top layer and then painted it. Then I searched for a photo of a roller coaster and a photo of paper texture. I added the paper texture to the background and shaded it. Then I cropped the roller coaster photo to where I wanted it and layed it over the paper texture, changing the size to where I liked it. I changed the coaster layer to "multiply" and the opacity to 60% which gave it that nice aged feel. All that took about a half an hour, making the total time spent on the illo 40 minutes.

You're quick, I gotta tell ya! I'm always amazed when people just do these things and don't need to ponder every step for hours like I do... And then the work looks great as well.
