TOE TAPPER... |
|
 |
This is what can happen when I see
a photo of Adele penguins jumping from one berg to another. Even more
amazing was that one was wearing a tutu...must have washed ashore. Click on any illustration for an enlargement. |
| This is the first sketch from the thumbnail. I didn't deviate much from what was in this sketch. |  |
 |
The line drawing for transfer to the final surface. The tutu became more of a skirt...I thought it showed more movement than that stiff tutu ruff. I added a couple of froufrou details, but it's still the sketch. |
| When
I have a booth at a show, I like to be doing something when I'm just
sitting around. It's what I should always be doing. A color
sketch is so beneficial. The following steps are much better and a
whole lot easier. Since I don't want to deal with water at a booth, this is colored pencil on pastel paper (Notice the 'Return of the Tutu'...as I started doing the skirt, it looked like a tutu might be okay...and it probably is, but I went back to a skirt...it still is better for movement). |

The watercolor dye stage, same as always. |
|
Colored pencil step...almost done. |

Acrylic paint added to strengthen contrasts and finish things up. |
