I have been doing some pencil work based on some great images from Veronika Kotlajic. While the reference images are fantastic to work with, it can sometimes take me a while to become comfortable with my own work, either in pencil or ink. This is the current image that I am working on, with Veronika supporting another resting figure. Playing with figure scales is one of the things I like to do, as it often makes me feel like I am in the picture, sort of like when Mike Teevee goes into the TV set in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Here is the pencil in B and 2B carbon. I like to use the carbon pencils as you can really work them without getting the graphite shine. I will probably get the 4B next when it is back in stock and I have some cash again.
The Cat and The Bird |
Veronika is wearing a top made of feathers here and I think the second figure looks a little like a cat sleeping in a tree and so I have titled it 'The Cat and The Bird'.
