A poster I did last year, when I suddenly felt a rush of inspiration to do something on Darlene Gillespie. I wound up watching An Evening with Darlene, a showstopping Fun with Music Day skit from the second season, on random and I wondered if I can do an old-timey poster. Plus, I haven't done much on the uber-talented Darlene - why not make something worth her Mouseketeer icon status?
The part I had the most fun making was the sort-of centerpiece of Darlene inside a circle where the text around her shone. I really liked that shadow effect on the "Darlene" in script, and I hope to revisit that. Also, this was a masterclass in "making the best out of rather low-quality screenshots" that I typically do, just to have some photographs to promote the "show" that this "promotes". Also note that she did have various impressions that were showcased throughout the piece
(side note: imagine if she went through variety shows in the 60s onward if there was any opportunity for her... would have loved to see that) Another good piece done, and there was a recent edit through correcting Red Skelton's surname. I really thought it was "Skeleton" when I originally posted this in the MMC Fans FB page. I'm not that great with names :(
