What to say, what to say... there are two things behinds this doodle. The main one is that I am trying to figure out how to paint a sunrise scene with digital watercolour. It would be no problem if I gave in and used the air-brush or photoshop but I wish to have a watercolour look from Painter. The other thing is a meaning of satellite that was bouncing around in my head but which I could not find in a dictionary. The definition I worked with was: a satellite is any body which follows a path around another. So in this doodle some flower fairies are performing a sunrise ritual around a hydrangea type flower.Cheers
When I think paisley I think paramecium or some such thing... some organism from my microbiology classes, it is at the periphery of my mind and just out of reach..urggg. Last week's Illustration Friday was "paisley" and I was not going to do it and I didn't, but I have wanted to do some paisley designs for a while and so one night around midnight just before I closed my eyes I doodled these (they are real rough). I plan to turn these into some embroidery clipart but I am not total sure if just line or or full colour or coloured line art, or if I should leave them single or make things with them. The main problem I am having on that score is - what on earth does one do with a paisley design when it is not in cloth pattern or maybe an earring :? Ahh well off to ink out another Anansi page- I'm at page 8 only.
I wish I could call this a daily sketch but I did a week or so ago and it has been sitting on my mess of a desk waiting to be joined by 6 other illustrations that would not just come :(
Just doodling with Painters' camel hair watercolour brushes, making the emo girl older, and thinking about anansi painting technique, since there is no way on earth my two monsters will let me paint with real watercolours without the result being a family effort one way or the other :)
