This new Illustration will complete the set of promotional images that I will be sending out to Natural History Museums throughout the UK and US over the coming weeks – it was inspired by this weeks Illustration Friday topic ‘Grounded’.
The illustration was created using traditional cut paper collage with a few digital additions here and there.
Below is a scan of the original collage (pre-digital additions) where you can see my feint sketch of the feet that I went on to create in Photoshop.



Love it! This is beautiful.
Dodos are definitely the epitome of “grounded.” Nice illustration!! I like your technique.
very nice, I like your other work as well!
Very beautiful extinct bird.
Beautiful! I like the process shots; it’s impossible to tell your digital parts from the hand-collaged parts, they blend so well.
Wow, such a great look and texture. Keep it up.
Gorgeous !
I love the colors, texture and design.
This is a lovely picture.
Great illustration Jonathan, love your new work, good luck with the Promotional work.
Thanks for all the kind comments everyone
