Don’t be worried about bad luck this Friday the 13th
I have a special leprechaun here to make sure bad luck stays away!
This little guy was done by one of my fearless readers using the tutorial I posted last week
Didn’t she do a great job?? 👏☘️
Thanks so much for sharing with us Cyndi!!
You are an inspiration to us all!
I also want to share some of Superboy’s recent artwork
This is a trending style with young artists,
crazy doodles on top of each other,
filling a page or a specific shape
His dad requested this Alabama A
It’s large, 18″ x 22″
He’s 11….Wow!
The world is made up of an infinite variety of artists and styles,
if you’re frustrated take a plunge and try something different
Today we’re going to recreate this pretty card I received from a special friend
Using markers with minimum strokes
is a crazy fun way to create an interesting image
This technique uses a variety of colors, lines and shapes to define the subject
First a few pencil lines to define the form
I can’t emphasize often enough how important it is to make a color chart,
of all your different art supplies and mediums
for quick and easy reference
I chose a yellow marker and began adding strokes where I saw that color in the original
Next aqua and gray
At this point I had enough defining marker strokes down so I could erase the pencil
{once marker goes over pencil it can’t be erased}
Now I added strokes for hair and skin with various shades of browns
Now red highlights and a darker blue on the hat
Next, more colors, pink, greens and shading with colored pencil
Pom poms where added to the flounce on her top
She got a dangling earring
I used a black fine liner pen for final definition in a few areas,
bodice edge, pom poms, chin, shoulder and hat
I left her face without features to keep her more mysterious and anonymous
“Rainbow Girl” 6″ x 9,” alcohol markers, ink, colored pencil on mixed media paper
What do you think of this technique?
Try something new and Be Fearless!
