Copics, a little colored pencil and a little playing in Photoshop.

Leeloo Multipass

Copic markers and a touch of colored pencil. And here are some pictures I took of the process:

1) Not completely refined pencils.
2) Light inking.
3) More lineweight and details.
4) Base layer for the face color. Smoother is better, but it's going to be blended a bunch anyway.
5) More colors! Blending and shading and blending again.
6) Eyes and teeth.
7) Hair! Same as the skin, started with a light base lever and built it up and blended.
8) Went over some of the shaded areas with a light purple.
9) Touches of colored pencil for highlights.

My TH painting

I started this little (36"x48") painting shortly after I painted my room this summer. I was working on it off and on (mostly off) in between whatever else and finally finished and hung it around the new year. The biggest thing I learned was to never use a certain brand of uber cheap acrylic ever again, because it could have been finished ages earlier if I didn't have to layer everything to get it as dark as I wanted. Other than that, I think it's purdy and it's the biggest thing I've ever made for myself.

The Owl and the Pussycat

Last post of the year. Craziness! Here's one from a project that's on hold, maybe indefinitely. We'll see. I had a coloring book with poetry when I was little and I especially loved this poem by Edward Lear.

Designs for the protagonist, love interest and antagonist of a pirate story based off the Seven Samurai. The sketches were done in Col-Erase pencils and then a couple each were colored in Illustrator.
