Watch as my girl unfolds...
I started with my very first background:
And paired a sketch with it:
I started painting in my girl (as I showed you earlier):
I felt she needed more shadows, so I added those next, with a bit of stamping for texture:
For her headpiece and dress, I decided to use collage elements to add a bit of dimension:
Details, details, details (mostly with paint and Sharpies):
I was not happy with her face at this point... the shadows were all off, I couldn't get the shade just right. So let's try that again:
Better. Her face is a little asymmetrical, but then, aren't we all? Now, I was really happy with the girl - I think she's really cute, thoughtful with a playful side - but something about the piece just wasn't sitting right. I splattered a bit of black ink around the edges and that didn't help much.
What to do? What to do?
What would you do?
Find out what I did tomorrow!
