Turning 40.

2016-bhummel-mirror-toon

I belong to an illustration challenge group, and every week they have a different topic. I do not always get the opportunity to participate, as my schedule is very full, but every once in a while I’ll be inspired. The word for this cartoon was “mirror.”

Deciding to focus on the duplicitous meaning of the word, to look back, I tried to mirror not only the characters, but perhaps their shared discoveries across the years.

This was a piece in which I challenged myself to try and create the same character both as a fourteen year old boy and as a forty year old man. This utilizes a technique called character aging, and I’m rather happy with the results.
