This one was drawn on the iPad, after the polls closed but before the results came in.

The drawing was traced over a photo of the Old Town taken from the West Hill – the Old Town nestles in a valley between the West Hill and the East Hill. Smith and Jones and the speech balloons were layered over the top and then the layered file were sent to my Mac for processing in Photoshop. The grass in the foreground, the sky, the sea and the gorse and brambles on the East Hill in the background were repainted, and the photograph of the buildings was filtered with the cut-out filter to create the hard-edged blocks of colour that match my colouring style.

And the results got published in the Hastings Independent at a huge size! And I was amazed at how good it looked (though the lettering needs attention).

The castle on the East Hill is actually the top station of the Victorian funicular railway that leads from the fishing beach to the top of the hill.
