Miranda for Wiki

I finished a picture I was doing today and figured I would post my process here. This was done specifically for Andy's wiki page for Arkaz.

Inked lines:

Final:


The lines are done traditionally, ink on bristol paper. I spent so much time getting her legs right that her hand was very wrong initially. I ended up using tracing paper to fix her hand, then I scanned and composited it in Photoshop, then did the colors in Photoshop, because I've misplaced my watercolor pencils.

I'm happy with it for now. I really enjoy doing this style of art.

Painting at Midnight

Why am I painting at midnight and/or 2 AM, you ask? I have no idea, but I've spent the last couple of hours looking at Mucha paintings and that may have something to do with it.



There's loads of errors here, but mainly I intended to use it as a test painting to try out my watercolor pencils and water pens, which I haven't actually used yet.

Scanned again so I had a line art version of those roses. I really like drawing roses.
