Life's a beach - new artwork

Hello friends

Here is my latest addition to the beach bums series.

I was wanting to try a new style, and had seen a few artists making beautiful artworks with a ink pen and dots, lots of dots.

So after a quick sketch

I wasn't even sure this was going to look good, but I kept on dotting.

I'm shocked at the end result, it actually looks really good, so good in fact I'm considering doing it all over again.

I was wanting to put this illustration in my online Society6 shop #linesdotssquiggles (a great place for artist to sell designs on art prints and other merchandise). But it needed some colour, so I uploaded the design on to Gimp 2.8 and played around with the colours. Here's the end result
