Unicorn
So this is the picture finally dry. Need to flatten it now as it did buckle a bit so its going to spend a few days under some heavy books before I add any coloured pencil to it and than blend the pencil with a stencil brush. Going to try to make the really harsh puddle lines a little lighter, probably should have sponged some of the water off. Live and learn :)
So because I have to find something to draw while this gets flattened I decided that I should try to finish a fantasy animal from my poll a long time ago. I was planning on drawing a gryphon, but I just couldn't get it to look right so decided to go the easy route and draw a unicorn :p
Not sure if I am going to do this in CP or graphite. Coloured pencil if I colour him purpl :p

Jeepers! You weren't kidding when you said a little of the Neocolour pigment goes a long way!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how both these pieces turn out...especially the eagle!
I'm glad the pigment goes a long way, the tin will last me a long time :p
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping the eagle will be flat enough tomorrow to start on *crosses fingers*
I think it'd be lovely in graphite! Oh I do love unicorns!!
ReplyDeleteI love them too :) I started this on some blue paper and am going to make him a piebald with coloured pencil, but if that doesn't work out I will do him in graphite. Probably going to do a few unicorns, can use all the media I have to do each one (like I need any more projects to do lol)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous unicorn!
ReplyDeleteDo a million variations...ok... that's too enthusiastic on my part! Do a few :)
millions!?! 0.0...looks at supplies. Going to have to get more supplies :p
ReplyDeleteA million variations sounds great!
ReplyDeleteI love shopping for supplies! I always spend more than I actually have to though.. I don't know what it is, I love paper, pens.. everything.. I love sharpie marker pens and instead of just buying one to use until it runs out, I'll buy a dozen..I really need to buy some sort of storage system actually. I've been going to Ikea but everytime I want to get something, they don't have it!!
How do you store your pens and pencils? All in a box? Have I already asked you this by the way? I just got deja-vu. I've seen a box that acts as a mini easel and a box at the same time, I'm still contemplating about getting it though.. and oh my god longest reply in the universe! Sorry Jennifer!!
Ikea is evil, but they do have a lot of nice things (I always get lost there lol)
ReplyDeleteColoured pencils that are being used at the moment are kept in glass jam/spaghetti jars. They are usually just kept in a big plastic tub though for ease of transport. I have to stuff a few rags or socks in the tub when I take it long distances to stop the pencils from rolling around :p (I really have to remember I don't need any more pencils when I go to the art store. But its so hard not to buy one or a few extras ;) )
I try to keep all the rest of my pencils/pens in the tins they came in, but that only lasts a few weeks before I mix them all together into jars.
My supplies use to look like this:

but not any more :p Piles of tins and boxes on the floor and on the linen shelf. It doesn't look organised but I know where everything is :)
I do keep my big sheets of paper as flat as possible in a box that came with an order I made. Perfect substitute for a paper shelf/cabinet. Would love to make a cabinet one day. :)
My sewing supplies are more organised than my pencils :p
I don't think you have asked the question before :) Those mini easels are good, but better to buy the best one you can afford than a cheap one. The cheap ones tend to break easily :/
This actually reminds me I need to straighten up my supplies and take inventory of what I might need. :D
Don't apologise! I think my reply might be a little longer ;) I always like answering questions :D
