Blog #2 - Detective Gumshoe Illustration and Death

So... this week sucks.
 
My friend has been in hospital for quite some time, yet again, but it looks like this time he wont make it. He's terminal and we thought he wasn't going to make it to the morning. At the moment he's still alive but I don't know how long he has left. It's not practical for me to go and see him, so I've been at a loss for what to do. I stayed up all night playing games, trying not to think about it. This morning I decided to play some Phoenix Wright and really wanted to do an illustration to take my mind off things. Spent a couple of hours in photoshop (I take ages to do anything it seems) and did a nice Gumshoe illustration. I don't normally do this kind of thing but I don't think I did too badly with it.  I really should do this in Illustrator but I haven't used it in so long, I can't remember how to do anything.

If you have any thoughts let me know. I'd like to do more illustrations but it's not my thing and this was just a one off to distract myself for a couple of hours. I kind of worked it in to a war style poster design with muted colours. Didn't want to go too cartoony with it, hence no outlines. I wish I could draw and could do something fancy but that requires years of practice to make up for my lack of natural talent, and I fear it's already too late for that.
