Favorite Book - Where the Wild Things Are

Maurice Sendak is one of my favorite illustrators of all time, since I was a kid.
So this is a quickie homage. (you know you're setting yourself up for failure when you can never compare to the original!)

Wild Thing

I was trying a new technique on this one, so as always, feedback is appreciated!

well, the new technique was i was trying to replicate the look of an oil pastel drawing on black paper, but in photoshop. By starting on black and sketching with white.

Thanks!

I really like your homage Dot! I love using dark backgrounds because the colors just jump right out at you. Great drawing of this character! =)
