Hi everybody. I haven't been posting in here very much, but I am "still" busy with drawings for that fundraiser I held a few months ago. Can you believe it?
I thought I'd post a few samples of my recent drawings, paintings and woodburns.
Next WIP. I am taking a gamble here and trying out charcoal paper for this colored pencil piece. I want to start using different colored paper, which charcoal and pastel paper offer. This paper is more toothed than I am used to, but with using that "burnishing" technique cream puff described, it's really not much different than coloring on smooth bristol paper. I just get tired of looking at white paper all the time. This paper is a light gray, though the images make the whole picture look darker than the actual drawing.
Finished! This is a better representation of the actual color of the drawing. I took this picture on my cell phone outside in the natural light and just auto adjusted it in HP image zone. I may never need my scanner again...lol.
Here is my most recent commission. It's another colored pencil drawing on gray charcoal paper. I have to add more layers due to the rough texture of the paper, but it's so worth it to have a more eye appealing drawing with the colored paper. I have done a few more pieces, but since they are Christmas gifts and I have no idea who has horseforum accounts, I am going to have to refrain from posting them in here until after the holidays. I'll try to post what I can until then.
I found this old graphite portrait I did for a friend during one of my fundraisers. Sorry the quality of the picture isn't great. I took it on my cell phone.
the cats are adorable! You know what? you could scan them, have them printed on fabric and make a really cool quilt! you'd need about 20 of them. Scan them and digitally arrange them in a "quilt" pattern, then print on fabric, then use to make pillows and actually stitch some hand quilted edges on it. OR, sell the "quilt" to a fabric producer.
lovely use of color with no color. Striking, and the two head together is lovely.
