Ok, it’s pushing the topic, SUSPEND, but Dorothy isn’t about
to suspend her trip home. She wants to
go home now.
I thought I’d post a work in progress clip. I get crazy with detail sometimes. I didn’t do a lot of character sketches for
this one and jumped right into playing with the color and texture. (This is me
off the top of my head.) It’s still an underpainting for the most part as I layer in more color
and values. There are still too many
middle tones and Dorothy’s hair is still getting lost, but I like the overall
green hue. I plan to do a series of
classic story characters for my portfolio and eventually work out some ideas
for a middle grade story I plan to illustrate.
I think I could push the “edginess” with my next illo. I’d like to get some MG book cover work in
the future.
Hope you like it.
