Composing a piece part 1
step 1 – figure out what character and motion you want
Sometimes the pose picks the character. Sometimes it’s the other way around. Forcing a character to do something outside it’s nature will make the piece seem wrong at times.
Step 2 – draw the bones.
No I don’t mean actually draw the bones. I mean put a few circles on the page. Get a feel for if.
Step 3 – flesh it out
Start adding in details. Physical features are important as the clothing.
Step 4 – clothing, jewelry, etc
Add in the details. Make it pretty and don’t forget the small stuff. A tiny nose stud takes church girl to young rebel.
See tomorrow for more bunnies on ice.
Practicing other styles #art
I mostly do cute cuddly little creatures with little extra emotions. They express themselves in their liquor or dessert of choice mostly. So @buried_in_books found a how to draw and paint animation book and I’m playing with it. Most of you know by now that I’m working on xmas gear. So here is my brute moose
He’s just a sketch but I hope you enjoy him. I kept breaking the lead in my pencil and I was sketching in bed so now I have pencil lead in bed.
Give me the coffeeeee elephant #art # Monday’s
this elephant really wants the coffee and I recommend you let him have it. After all, it’s a Monday.
The first 4 attempts at this one went poorly. I applied caffeine to the system and it got better.
It’s done with copic marker, liner, and paint. Same old same old. 🙂
Xmas opossum ready for cards #art
I’m prepping for applying to an art fair in November and figured a small verity of xmas cards. This guy is a nice nutral happy holiday. Or festimas for the rest of us card.
This is done with Copic markers, liners, and paints. You can’t see the glitter copic pen in this pic but it’s there in the snow. Kind of feel odd about using the glitter since I know the shiney comes from bits of glass. Don’t let your kids use this pen. Chewers beware. Luckily once my business manager scans it the pic will be safe for general use.
