Description Since he won the 2500 kiriban drawing, requested the following: "an attractive female human (doesn't have to be based on anyone in particular) messing around with a yo-yo."

So, what's this? An attractive (well, I think she's attractive) female human messing around with a yo-yo.

I aim to please.

ha! the girl in this illustration is such a tease! Again, GREAT choice of fonts. Love the arrows pointing up and down like what a yo-yo does. It's interesting how you chose a black border. It makes the colors pop, but I also wonder what it would be like in another color. The way you made her hair swish over behind her and come out the other side is great. And the use of that red bar in the background behind the yo-yo really helps to frame that part of the illustration nicely. Great job!

Someone noticed this! That was exactly why I chose the font. There is a method to my madness... sometimes.

It makes the colors pop, but I also wonder what it would be like in another color.

I seriously tried about fifteen different colors, but black seemed to "fit" the best. Black is usually best for optimal color-popping, I've found.

And the use of that red bar in the background behind the yo-yo really helps to frame that part of the illustration nicely.

You are seriously observant. Thank you!

Heh. Thank you for observing my observations. I'm a fellow illustrator and I go through the same thinking process when doing my compositions. And lately as I've been taking more photographs (especially with a F22 aperture where everything in the photo is in focus--including the background) I've become even more aware of how backgrounds interact in photos. But with illustrations, you can see a bunch of mine at: [link]
