#56: Be as you Are

Prints and Cards Available

This is another one that was primarily drawn in the classroom. I spent a lot of time on the outline and colored it later, amidst paper writing and sermon prep. I tried a few new things with her: first, the green pen to set off space away from the black lines. I’m not sure how I feel about it… it seemed like an excellent idea but then the pen didn’t really have the same quality of line as the black one did. I also purchased some prismacolor markers in white people skin tone, which I did not have previously. I had a brilliant image planned on one paper, but then totally ruined it when I used crappy skin tones. Now I’ve learned my lesson and will be using the higher quality markers for skin–that is, unless I want it to be green, red, or some other outlandish color.

This is a Christmas post, even though it’s not a Christmas piece! It does have themes of Christmas though… part of the text reads “All that is, is love”. Merry Christmas with art, everyone!
