Wow! I've being selected as the final illustrator for the Whisper Gallery project. The idea behind that was one artist is whispering the theme to another with his work and next one should do something inspired by that. Then the chain goes on. You could check all the previous whispers at @mrblinddraw blog.

Trying to inspire...
If you will check what is behind the stage of creating that eye piece you will be amazed. That was the real tapes scanned and then applied to the cats eye. I would not say anything about the final result but I've promised to take part in this project and I had to create something based on that piece. Whta to do?
My first toughts was like: Hey, what? Em... Uh... An eye? Lol? Tape?..
So I've started to scratch this words on the canvas because I really had no idea what should I do with this cat eye.
Then I've started to think of my childhood and all these casette players, old school stuff and thought okay, let's play with the tape then. Gradually my thoughts lead me to this final sketch I was satisfied and I started to color it.
Coloring Process
All my works I am drawing in Adobe Photoshop with Microsoft Surface Pro 2017. I am working with such a tablets for last 2 years and I've got my neck feel really bad of it so I would not recommend this device though it's really handy, small, light weight and it's more comfortable to draw right on the screen rather than on the blind surface with Wacom Intuos series for example. I don't know what to do now with my neck and all that pain. Maybe I will create special drawing easel for this particular tablet and will draw standing. It would be more healthy. Or I will get back to my traditional drawing using Macbook Pro and Wacom Intuos tablets where I can sit straight without struggling my neck...
Well anyway this is not the case now. Here is few coloring stages I've saved for your pleasure.
Final
And the final is here again. I like this project and really grateful for inviting me to take part. Let's spread some love to @mrblinddraw for this initiative by upvoting his posts, guys!
That's so cool! Thanks for sharing the process, it's really interesting :)
Thank you :)
I really love this idea! And I love where you took this guy, he looks so cute and relaxed!
Thank you, Flo! Do you want to take part in next round? I am sure @mrblinddraw will open it soon...
YES! I think that would be awesome! How much time do you get to finish the piece?
I've done it in about 2 or 3 hours today. Pretty lame and slow :) Plus spent yesterday around 15 minutes for the sketches.
And what was the deadline? I'm not sure if I'm as fast as you ;)
I had one week and failed on the beginning this winter and we've exchanged with another artist and then I had another chance luckily.
This is wonderful, @dunsky! Been waiting for your whisper since the announcement and it's amazing how you've taken the tape and characterised it. Especially the whisper that flows into one ear and out of the other, bringing this series to an amazing end. Can't have thought of someone better to tie this all so up neatly! Kudos.
Haha! Thanks!
