Body language

I used Raymond Briggs as an inspiration for most of these. I've admired the emotion he can put into his artwork for years. This one image from Ethel and Ernest is enough to bring me to tears. I have always wanted to try a similar style, and try and put as much emotion into a piece, so this topic was the perfect opportunity to finally try. The focus on the hands gripping the counter is what holds the most emotion for me so I tried that in the good news prompt.

The anniversary was inspired by the same advert that tango was, as I wanted it to be a sequel. 

I wanted genius at work have the vibes of an old oil painting, which was a mistake because I didn't have the patience to do all that shading.
