Won myself 2nd Place with my "Mermaid's Breakfast" drawing yesterday at Kustom Lane's "California Screamin' Downunder 2" Exhibition. That earns it the right to be sent over to Gasoline Gallery in LA for sale at their "California Screamin' 6" Exhibition.
Here is my working progress for this piece. From right to left. I started with the pencil rough, orange and grey lead. Then in the computer I did a bunch of quick color treatments. I decided on a palette. I then photocopied my pencil sketch up to A3 and transferred it to Watercolor paper (stretched on a board) with my variation on the tracing paper technique. I inkied up all the lineowork with a slighlty brown blue ink. Then using my watercolor I just used flood fill and voilà
OK, here's my finished piece for the... “ California Screamin’ Downunder 2” Art Competition and Exhibition Sunday April 3rd to April 17thKustom Lane Gallery 8 Luton Lane, Hawthorn 3122
It has taken me about 2 weeks of solid work to get it to this stage. I had the idea early in the year. Painted using many layers of water color and inks for the linework. I'd done a number of preliminary sketches and color treatments prior to get it right.
This is a Birthday Party Invitation at a winery I did for my Mother In-Law. The drawing was done in my sketch book then scaned and colored in the computer. I'm quite happy with the final product.
This is a character design I have done for one of my projects I am working on. Thought I'd put together a transition of the stages for something a bit different.
