I apologize for not updating in awhile... I've been lazy and and I haven't been creating much. But today, i finally bought the USB cable that can connect my computer to the printer and now I can scan in my hand-drawn images, instead of taking pictures! :) I'm very excited and i have been scanning in things left and right. This will be a lot of fun i think. Here are some random doodles that I did...
The image above is Tomoyo from Cardcaptor Sakura. This year at AX, i was able to attend a COPIC marker workshop and so i learned a lot about the markers and how to use them properly. So i bought 6 and went home to test them out. This is the result of me trying out the markers. It doesn't look great because i didn't spend a lot of time on the drawing (i quickly drew the outline in pencil and then traced it with my liner) because i wanted to get to the coloring. COPIC markers are amazing when you know how to use them and also use the right materials (i.e. liners and paper)! For this image, i used Strathmore 400 series Bristol paper. The paper is meant for pen, ink and markers because the surface is very, very smooth. COPIC markers are really good with that type of paper.
Above is an example that I created to show my high school students for our appropriation unit. Students had to take elements of an advertisement and copy it with transfer paper. I took the frame and the fishes from two different ads. Then i traced with black think sharpie and colored it in with oil pastels. The picture below is a close-up. I liked how the colors turned out so, I thought I'd share it with you. :)
