Pelicans #1

 

Lineart for a lino cut :) I want to add more then one colour to the print, but I really have no luck when it comes to reduction printing. I know all about registration, but printing in many colours just never works for me. Maybe I am just supposed to stick to etching lol hmmm 2 or more colours in etching?...

Bosse #3

 

Half done :) The paper isn't grey, but I actually like the way it looks, might have to find grey paper to draw on.

At the beginning of the week I had a migraine from hell :/ Made it extremely hard to do anything and next time my vision gets all fuzzy/flashy, I will pump pain killers to try to stop or slow the migraine down. Haven't had a migraine that bad for a long time, not sure if its stress or chocolate. And I keep telling myself, no more chocolate, but I never listen to myself :p but this time I have to listen to myself because that was bloody painful. Chocolate taste so much better here then in Canada tho lol

Numb Hand

I really wanted to get the basic etching done on this today so that I could then go back and add more shading where needed, but my hand went numb. And its probably not a good idea to use a sharp pointy object when you can't feel anything past your wrist :p

Hopefully get it finished tomorrow, and also I hope to have Bosse done :)

Wordless Wednesday

Playing with Pens

Just messing around with water-soluble pens, looks like a really short muzzled mule :p I really like the look and will def. be sketching like this more.

Smelly

No, Sky didn't roll in any more fox pop and thankfully you don't get Skunks here, but I had forgotten how much masking fluid smells :p Haven't used it for awhile and since I will probably use it for some sections on a painting for college, thought I should play around before I have to use it for something important.

So this is just a small test piece, trying out colour combinations at the same time. Might as well kill 2 birds with one stone, need to look up where that phrase comes from.
