New Illustration: Soup Loving Mouse

"Soup Loving Mouse." 2013.
Prismacolor marker and pigment liner on paper. 5 x 7"

Fresh from its completion is a new postcard-sized illustration! 

 I started this couple days ago while watching some favorite family films of mine.  Yes, I love watching children/family films especially if they're animated well.  And yes, I am guilty of watching them over and over (or as background when I'm drawing).  This little guy was specifically inspired by Pixar's Ratatouille.

Ratatouille is one of my favorite Pixar movies from it's content (cooking), to it's animation style, voice actors, and ultimate feel of the film.  It gives me a warm cozy feeling watching it.  The first dish Remi, the rat, helps with in the Parisian restaurant is a soup (specific kind unknown to the audience).  I, too, have quite the fondness for the comfort that both making and easting soup entails...so I created this little piece.  
Who doesn't get all warm inside with anticipation of a hot mug of homemade soup?
