Composition with a digital background |
I have neglected this blog for many hours working on financials, filing papers, tax returns and my mother's health. Oh, how I have missed you. Chatting with you over my morning coffee. There is no profound wisdom or the secrets to art marketing success in this blog that I have to share with you today. I come only bearing this simple bluebird sketch. All 5 x 7 inches of him. Small but as I enter my studio right now he sits their on my drawing table in his new white matte and I smile because he is more than just a little bird. He represents creativity birthed in chaos and stress.
I used my Prismacolor Pencils and my favorite Marvy Le Pen with a micro fine point. I created two versions of this drawing to share (1) has a digital background added after I finished coloring in the bird. I also did some adjusting and adding to the branches. After I decided that I liked the color scheme of digital version, I went back tot he original drawing and created a variation of the background using only my pencils and orderless turpenoid for blending. I love Photoshop and the freedom it gives me in not only the finished results but in the planning of a piece.
