As with the snowboarder illustration which I published just before this, the Skier was also inspired by the incredible stunts which were being pulled by the freestyle skiers at the Pyeongchang Olympics, 2018.
Like the Snowboarder, I painted the skier then scanned the watercolour and edited it to add a smooth blue background. I like the freedom of this image, and the funny angle of the skier upside down in space.
