WIP Wednesday

I spent a couple days working intensely on this mermaid illustration. I'm trying to slowly add more to my childrens' publishing portfolio.

I started out with a few sketches and chose a composition I like. I'll probably tackle one or more of the sketches in the near future to sort of build a story around these characters.

Work in Progress - Bugs

Just a quick post of something I'm working on. Not sure if I like the approach, color scheme etc so we'll have to see how this turns out. I like the original b/w sketch much more. :(

WIP Wednesday

For this piece I started with a sketch (in ink) I liked. I took a photo of it (since I didn't have access to a scanner) and started inking it in Photoshop. I then proceeded to block in the skin and other large flat areas of color. I finished up with some simple blending and shading. It's not nearly as complete as I'd like but it was a fun exercise to get my feet back into digital painting.

Hula Girls

really liked how these looked like as a sketch so I did a trace in Illustrator then added color and texture (in Photoshop). I wanted to try something different so I used triangles to give it texture. I like the effect but maybe I should have been more subtle. I may revisit these later. I feel like I want to give it a similar treatment as my other mini geisha illustrations.
