Fi's making some great progress with the painting, especially considering we've probably had a total of 24-30 hours worth of actual working hours to devote to it. I'm quite proud of the effort she's made so far. She doesn't get to paint very often, so even though she'd be entitled to being rusty and out of touch with her skills, she's really doing a great job with this. I think our friend is going to be very pleased with this birthday gift!
Fi has painstakingly transferred the traced lines onto the artboard, and I'm in the process of cleaning up the lines, adding some details (she'll hate me for the details, it's going to make her job of painting it a lot harder), and getting it generally ready for her to begin painting. Oooo!
Wow, I've kind of dropped off the drawing radar lately. I haven't drawn anything since... Well, since the last time I posted here I guess. I tend to go through phases of not being remotely interested in drawing, and this has been one of those times.
Alas, it was a friend's birthday recently, and Loh and I have decided to try our hand at creating a painting for her. We're going to use my Gamegirl sketch, shown in my previous entry. I enlarged the sketch on my screen, and then used two horizontal pages of A3-sized tracing paper to redraw it straight from the screen (taping the pages to the screen and using the screen as a virtual lightbox). Nifty, right?
The artboard is almost the size of two A3 pages, so it works out nicely.
Now the task to transfer the trace over to the actual artboard begins. Fiona's going to trace the drawing with graphite, and then rub it onto the artboard. She's clever like that. This is all unexplored territory for me, but she's a much more learned artiste than myself, so it'll come good.
I shall update when there's updates to be had. A gug gug gug!
For your viewing pleasure (or complete lack thereof), I offer the completed inks of Ryu schooling Ken. I'd like to eventually do a more complete version of this and paint it, but in the meantime, I quite like this. I screwed up Ken's feet, but if you pretend not to notice, the rest of it is kind of alright. Non?
I'll finish this sketch soon, it needs a lot more tweaking before it'll be done methinks.
...It's so bad.
Ah The Wizard, where we would be without such a film?
I have a fairly long list typed out, and on that list are all the things I want to try to include in drawings. One of them was Nintendo's Power Glove. I guess I can scratch that off my list now, eh?
