Illustration for nature magazine.

“The US president’s actions have exacerbated the pandemic that has killed more than 200,000 people in the United States, rolled back environmental and public-health regulations and undermined science and scientific institutions. Some of the harm could be permanent.”

Here goes an awful gif animation (sorry about the low resolution) plus some additional pics showing part of the process behind the piece in my last post. 

Basically I airbrush acrylic colors using masking film, then I ink with a brush in the usual way. Pretty straigthforward, but messy. You can see previous examples of the same technique if you scroll down a few posts.
