When I was drawing regularily, one of my favourite things to do was to take a photo (one of mine own or something from a magazine, internet, etc) and use it as the basis for a fantasy drawing. Basically.. I love turning humans in faeries!
Ever since snapped this candid shot of Samantha last year....
Staring at my sketch, I knew it needed colour, so just pencil was out. If I went ink and coloured pencil, I could start outlining with the ink, but if I wanted just coloured pencil, I'd have to do some erasing of some of the heavier lines first, as well a decide on a few of the finer details before applying colour. And if I wanted to paint - I'd stop right there and transfer the design to a canvass or painting paper.
I could decided, so I set it aside to think about it a bit. But the more and more I thought about it... the more I wanted to do water colour on canvass...
So now I have to go get a canvass, because I don't have any squirrel away. So I guess you'll have to wait to see this one finished....
