Illustration Friday: "Theater"


This week's topic for Illustration Friday is "theater." I did an illustration of tanuki (Japanese raccoon dogs) doing kabuki theater. Tanuki are said to be masters of disguise according to Japanese legend, so I thought it would be fitting for them to be dressed up as kabuki actors. I call it "Tanuki Kabuki."

These topics are a lot of fun to draw. I'm looking forward to the next one. : )
