Illustration Friday - Hats


When you live in New York, you'll notice that the slightest indication of seasonal change is more than enough reason to don your latest favorite accessories. That first nippy breeze in September brings out the scarves. Those damp, rainy October days call for your new golashes. Now that we're a week into November, you can only imagine...

With all the characters I see in this city, the idea of 'hats' as a theme was a good one, because the variety you see is countless and it's interesting how the hats reflect the personalities of the people wearing them. All these characters were drawn from imagination, and I could have (and should have) achieved more variety from real life observation while drawing.

Hope you enjoy them!

PS -- Yes, I know some of the characters aren't wearing 'hats' per se, such as the headband dude and the earmuffs guy, but they're close enough ;)

Fantastic! I love the detail you gave each face; you didn't slack on any. They are individually very interesting to look at. Great work!

Great illo! Nice linework. Wish I lived in NY. Where I live most people are hatless ;-)
