It's almost February, which means it's almost Chinese New Year's, and this year is the Year of the Pig.

Which has nothing to do with this post, except that it has a lot of pink in it.

I promised a friend of mine to draw a little sketch of my Queen of Hearts costumed character from last year for her (somewhere, this sentence makes perfect sense).

I said sure, no problem, well, one thing led to another, and finally, I finished it. Mind you, she asked me to do this after Halloween, so I'm oh...yeah, just on time. I'm not very good at composition, so a part of the problem I had was making a picture where the person in it didn't look stiff - I went through pages of sketches and botched wooden figure poses, until I flipped open a page in Nylon, and well








media: canson marker paper (this stuff is AWESOME), pencil, rapidograph ink pen, black fine liner, copic markers, pastel, and prismacolor pencil, with white marker for highlights. This is 99% finished, I'm still debating on whether I should leave the white space or fill it in with another color/detail. i was trying to do a mix between Art Deco/pop art/and Georgia O Keefe painterly, only without paints.

the original sketch



Bad scan - I still haven't figured out to properly scan my artwork, plus this one was pretty big. It's all in pencil at this point, I haven't inked it.




cropped image so you can see the 'bottom' of the drawing.


Basically, I was messing around with colors and learning how to use my copic markers - I still need to learn how to color/draw clothing folds realistically, and working on blending the markers, so there's not so much a 'marker' effect. Also, flowers can be damn hard to color properly.
