Sunny...

Yesterday my life, was filled with rain. Sunny, is my latest commission! I've put my elephant to one side of the drawing board and begun this cutie. His name is Sunny and I have had the Boney M song on continuous play since starting this drawing!





Just like the song, it's happy and upbeat, and I have a really good feeling about this one turning out brilliantly.


At the moment it's just emerging out of the Ugly Stage, but I am posting all of my steps so far.




I've brightened up the pictures a little in Photoshop since they have not turned out very well in this light. He is much less yellow in real life, but it's easier to see the stages of the work like this.

Elephant WIP

I'm working through this slowly but surely. I'm finding it difficult to work on the background so I am having some time out and working on the ears. I will flit back and forth until I feel happy with them both and then move downwards again.

Angie has moved!

Well we managed, my other half and I moved almost 2 weeks ago now. We have had no Internet up until Friday and then we were away for the weekend so sadly I didn't get a chance to post. My new studio is now set up with my drawing table and materials, we just need a few shelves and things for storage up in the corner and it should be all done. I love my new drawing table, the angle can be adjusted, it has a nice metal rail at the bottom for catching pencils etc that may try and roll off PLUS it has a built in light box!




I'm managing to get some more work done on my elephant today, despite having a lot of boxes to unpack still. I'm working more on the background today and hope to move onto the ears soon.
