Illustration Friday: Skyline

 
When I first saw the word for the week last night I was thinking oh no, what else can you do with skyline but the typical city skyline. Then, as I was having my morning coffee it came to me,do the skyline with a twist. That's when I came up with the idea of an artist (the mouse) painting a skyline with another artist painting the mouse painting the skyline and then I decided what the heck, I'll throw in one more artist painting both of them, indicated by the paint brush in the lower right corner of the picture. Drawing is done in prismacolor pencils then smoothed it some in Photoshop.

Thank you all for your kind comments. Yes Elin, I'm afraid I may have made the last artist a little too suttle but I wanted to make it one of those points where you have to look for it.
