Below you'll find my second assignment for XX/XY. The prompt was to make an illustration which applies to one of the following topics: transgender, intersex, or androgyny. I chose transgender, and I owe a lot of my inspiration to the French movie Tomboy (which is great, by the way. See it!). The comic is pretty bittersweet, I suppose, but in the context of how most transgender people are perceived by the world at large, this is a pretty optimistic take. Both pages are approximately 8.5"x11" watercolor, with some minor revisions in photoshop. I don't usually tool around with stuff in Ps save for contrast, value range, color vibrance, and the like...but seeing how other artists use digital media to make changes quickly and efficiently or even work solely in digital has changed my mind. I'm an amateur when it comes to imitating or improving upon my traditional stuff in Ps, If you look closely, you'll definitely be able to see a couple places where it's clearly touched up. Yikes! I suppose I must start somewhere, though.
