dodie smith

asaf :: first I'd like to say thanks to fellow illustrators kevin cross and joshua kemble for having me over on their podcast big illustration party time - about the ins and outs of freelance illustration and cartooning. we had a nice chat about the daily struggle that is working as an illustrator. highly recommended to all newcomers out there but also to the veterans who are looking to expand their podcast listening while waiting for "the paint to dry".
on that same note, tomer and i talked about working on "waltz with bashir" to maclife magazine.

another cool thing we did together is this 3 panels illustration for a book about Ambrose Heal. our spread featured his one time mistress Dodie Smith, an english novelist and playwright (she wrote The Hundred and One Dalmatians), as well as a 1920 fashion icon.
asaf- sketches. tomer - inks and colors.

  1. Fantastic! The bottom right picture is very interesting because the dalmatian is sharing the same quiet gaze with its master

  2. Hello Mr. Hanuka, I`ve been allways wondering, how you ink your drawings, because sometimes it looks like you do the ink process with photoshop or with another coloring programm. I focus this statement only on this piece. do widzenia

  3. These are staggeringly good...wow!

    Dodie Smith also wrote I Capture The Castle, a fantastic and touching novel about a teenage girl's adventures in the English countryside.

    (It's also JK Rowling's favorite novel, but don't hold that against it...)
