Lexi's Soggy Crocs

It's been raining heavily lately, which is very unfortunate for Lexi and her crocs!

Gary and Lexi have been out today despite the rain, wearing their rainy day clothes- mostly. Lexi likes her crocs and so even though she put on her rain mac, the crocs remained on her feet. Gary advised her not to wear them in the rain but Lexi didn't listen. After a short walk to the shop where they do their weekly shopping Lexi realized that both her crocs and her feet were soaked right through! Despite drying them a couple of times, the crocs were beyond saving and no longer any good to Lexi. Poor Gary had to deal with her sulking all evening. The next day saw better weather and Lexi was out and about as normal again, but in another pair of crocs!

This is a watercolor illustration I did by applying the colour before the lineart. This gave me a better job of keeping the colour within the lines. It's ironic though that this time the watercolour did not bleed through the lines marked with pencil and thus I didn't actually need to alter the outline to fit the colouring!

This will also be the last illustration to feature Lexi's original design, as she has a new look which I think suits her much better! So look forward to that and enjoy the weather, don't get your crocs too wet!
