Summer Project.

I really enjoyed creating this picture of the man playing a trumpet. At the time of creating this image I used inspiration from Gary Baseman's work and looked at a lot of images from Disney's Princess and the Frog.

The majority of Gary Baseman's characters have the same eye shape as Disney's Mickey Mouse and therefore I decided to use this as my inspiration.

I didn't like the way Gary Baseman used a lot of nudity in his work so I decided to take influences from Princess and the Frog's theme of basing a character that was set in New Orleans Jazz hey day of the 1920s.

Thanks for taking the time to read this post.
