Illustration Friday - 'Shaky'

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Here's my first go at IF's theme. A tough one this week.

The brief story behind it is a clown gets promoted to the tightrope but is finding keeping his balance harder than he first thought. This is intended to be a snap shot of him practising (this is way he's outside) and trying not to be so shaky when it comes to heights.

Total time approx: 4 hours, from scratch in photoshop.
