The Tall Tales of Pecos Bill




This was one of my final pieces for Illustration 1 during Fall semester 2013 and it was such a blast to work on! We were tasked with choosing a folklore to illustrate. I grew up on the western tall tales and decided to do one of my favorite western heroes, Pecos Bill! In this vignette, Bill is off lassoing rivers so that he can bring rain to quench the drought plaguing the southwest!

Below is a bit of the process that one goes through creating an illustration.
