Project 1 in the Time Traveler course with Ce Duff, which is an acrylic portrait, is still a WIP, because I couldn't wait to get into project 2! I LOVE sketching the models, and I borrowed these from Pinterest, hoping I don't get into trouble for using them in my sketchbook and sharing them on my blog, even though they are not exactly like the models that inspired me! As usual, I didn't follow the teacher's video explicitly. I tried though!
This study was supposed to be painted in gouache, but I don't have any, so I used Kuretake Japanese watercolors. It is about placing two figures together with a background, which tells a story, in illustration style. This is what I came up with, inspired by the class and ideas meshed together from Pinterest. A little imagination was also thrown in!
Mechanical Pencil Sketch of Figures
Zig Fine Marker over Pencil Lines with Background
First Layers of Paint
The Roses and (later) a Fine Pink Stripe Within the White Stripe Didn't Work Out
This is where I've stopped on it, after adding some details and going over the lines again with a black gel pen. The colors may be a little rich for a typical illustration, but I tend to like brighter colors in art, so I'm pretty happy with it.
Can't you just hear these two party girls gossiping about what somebody is wearing, or who they're with? 😁
I enjoyed creating this project study so much that I almost have another one done! Different girls, different story! I want to do some more, using my mom's old photos of relatives and backgrounds. So much I that I want to create, learn, and try, and so little time left!
Stay safe and well, and keep creating!
