Photo/s of the day.

A follow on from yesterday's WIP post.

Where I started, but not where I finished.






Working only with 0.1 and 0.5 fineliners. So far almost everything is being done with a 0.1 nib.









Started fleshing out the spirals.





Spirals done!





Blacking in with the 0.5 fineliner. Put in pencil lines to help me with the linework of the fur.





Where I'm up to now (which is apparently, blurriness, because I care more about doing the art than taking WIP shots sometimes, it's true!), blocking at fur, but not yet finished. Also did pointillism in the mountains. Because pointillism + mountains = win.





Less blurry.

Wow that's happened quickly hon! Looks awesome. Can't wait to see the coloured version!

[moonvoice]

The coloured version will take a little longer (it'll probably be as complex as the inking, but with space to let things dry) because of her markings and balancing the background with her markings. But I'm looking forward to it too!

Wow. Those /eyes/!

"pointillism + mountains = win."

*nods a lot*

[moonvoice]

Yay eyes!

[unaspenser]

I love love love how you draw fur.

[moonvoice]

I've come to like it too. The first time I ever tried it, I was like 'aaaaaaargh.' Took forever to work out the motion. Heh.

For some reason, the e-mail version didn't have the same oomph as it does here.

I was sitting here, looking at Chelsie's eyes & got a stiff chill & was like, "WTH? Wow, strong medicine!"

But of course, the real dog just came in from outside & she just smells like sunshine & is sticking her head up Rob's boxers :P

The email version is the scan, so it has the most accurate details. But here I think, the photos pick out different things to focus on (which is why every one looks so freaking different. Lol).

But of course, the real dog just came in from outside & she just smells like sunshine & is sticking her head up Rob's boxers :P

That's like tree kangaroos. Look so dignified as totems! In real life they are unco and fall off trees. *grin*

So pretty!! Can't wait to see the finished project!

[moonvoice]

Yay! Hopefully some time early this week. :)

I absolutely love your WIP pics. It shows how much work goes into each piece.

I'm enjoying watching your progress, but also can't wait until you show the finished art!

[moonvoice]

I like seeing them laid out like this, but I'm so bad about taking them because when I get into the workzone, I just want to work! :)

[ariestess]

This is looking fantastic. I really like these WiP photos.

[moonvoice]

Yay! I'm glad. :)

[white_rabbit]

[moonvoice]

Hee. :)

There's so much texture in this! Love it.

[moonvoice]

Thank you! :)

Looking great! And I just took another look at your Wandsuna collection and I have to say, I can't wait to see what you do with it!

[sidheblessed]

Can't wait to see her finished!
