Pens and Scissors

I ventured out of my little cubby hole of a work space today and took refuge at the kitchen table to catch a little breeze and a cup of tea. I’m progressing with this piece but solid areas of color can be a bit challenging. One of the things that you have to be careful of is trying to keep your dots evenly spaced in order to create the appearance of a smooth, continuous color flow. I have more of a free form stippling style so it’s easy to develop “rivers” where I don’t want them.

OMygosh! It feels like it’s been ages since I’ve been on here. Well, actually just two days. Other life duties called and I haven’t had much time for any Tumblr goodness. I’ve managed to get what I think is the hardest part of my latest project out of the way. There’s nothing like the challenge of rendering somebody’s facial features but I think I did okay. I can breathe again now.

Monarch - 3x4 drawing with 5x7 mat frame. It’s 2:30am and I just finished this. I think I’ll go to bed now.

Muse - I can’t remember if I’ve already posted this or not so forgive me if it’s this is a repeat but I’m feeling a bit too lazy to go back through all of my posts. :-P
