Double Life: Complete CONFUSION

What’s this? A double life anniversary? Seems a perfect time for another thumbnail then!

3/6 of my PearlescentMoon Double Life Thumbnail series for my Illustration class. Episode 3 was full of so many fun moments, but I really wanted to paint Revenge. I also love the composition, as Pearl is between Scott and Cleo’s house!

Each illustration is sketched in red colored pencil, colored with watercolor and gouache, and lined with red ink. For this project, I focused on different coloring and shading techniques.

Did you know that selenium deficiency is a thing? 

Up to a billion people around the globe are deficient, not getting enough of this trace element from their diet. This is why we are interested in understanding what controls selenium levels in soils. The atmosphere supplies Se to the soil environment - but where does this initially come from? I loved illustrating this study by Süss et al., (2019), investigating trace element sources using rainwater analyses. The data show that the terrestrial biosphere apparently has much more of an impact than we traditionally thought - at least during the summer.
