PEACOCK

Happy Hello Friends!

 

Today I'm sharing some art work I created in my mixed media sketchbook.....

 "Update" -I had some questions asked to me by a few different friends whether I trace or draw my images.....I have never traced any of my paintings or drawings.....That wouldn't be challenging for me....I am looking forward to preparing a video showing the steps I take to create my drawings....If you don't mind watching me use an eraser in the beginning, I'd be glad to show you!  This woman I sketched was quite easy and I had her outline finished quickly...That is the easy part....The hard part is blending the shadows and highlights (with Viva paper towels or micro cloth).....At the very end I go in with an eraser - Cheekbones, earlobes, jawbone, eyebrow bone, nose, neck, shoulder, clavicle bone, down her arm, etc. and take away color for "highlights"....
Good questions, thanks for asking and keep em com'n!!!

I love all things peacock theme so I decided to add a peacock headpiece to this drawing....I used my imagination for the headpiece and lashes....

 

I used mostly "Prismacolor" premier pencils for this project....Highlighted with a few paints "Tattered Angels" High Impact (available at Canvas Corp Brands) CLICK HERE  and outlined with "Faber Castell" Pitt Artist Pens...

Watercolors and Neon Acrylics here and there...
