The Tiger Girl doodle bomb, or “bombette” as my friend Megan calls it, is done! \u00a0While other doodle bombs, or re-covers,<\/em> have been done\u00a0tongue-in-cheek\u00a0or as an homage to the covers\u2019s subject,\u00a0this one is more of a transformation of demure cover model Elle Fanning into a Bridgitte Bardot inspired Tiger Girl. Let\u2019s take a look at the before and after and in-between photos.<\/p>\n

\"Elle<\/a>

Interview Magazine original cover.<\/p><\/div>\n

First step was to give her the \u201ckattsy\u201d treatment: stripes, eyes, ears and a mouth shaped like a heart.<\/p>\n

\"Tiger<\/a>

Tiger stripes–the transformation begins!<\/p><\/div>\n

Sometimes I like to draw on\u00a0clear film overlays or color copies to work out basic ideas for my doodles. The orange one was a Josie and the Pussycats inspired look.<\/p>\n

\"Orange<\/a>

Orange Tiger Girl.<\/p><\/div>\n

The blue one was inspired by one of my own paintings. The cheetah print and blue background idea stuck and I used it for the final image. The use of cheetah print reminds me of the Interview Magazine covers of my youth as illustrated by Richard Bernstein.<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/a>

Blue Tiger Girl.<\/p><\/div>\n

In the end I decided I would not draw over the open chest area and instead let it contrast the busy cheetah background. Most of the work was completed using Posca markers, excepting the hair which I wanted to have a hand tinted look so I used a marker that was not opaque. I really liked the blue outline around the stripes idea, but decided to go with the black stripes on skin for the final.<\/p>\n
