Yellow Paint

This was a full page illustration i did for Heidi Youngers Class illustrating the story "Yellow Paint" by Robert Louis Stevenson. We had to break down the meaning of the story and illustrate it. To me i saw a lot of religious symbolism in the story. The fact that this man is going blindly with the crowd and just trusting this paint, just like some of us trust religion unquestionably. I hope you can notice the demons in the yellow paint, click the image for a larger view. I wanted to contrast the madness of the paint with the serenity of the figure. I scanned my sketch into the computer and painted it on photoshop, and had so much fun doing it!
