Brrrrrr!
When the weather gets chilly, I naturally draw people in autumn/winter clothes.
These were drawn on two separate days/occasions-----now I realize that I have a thing for knitted caps with fluffy balls at the end.

Super Blob!
Here is a 16"x12" collage-painting I made recently, based on the sketch from the previous post:
I've been wanting to paint on collages for about a year now. I improvised the entire thing, with hardly a clear vision of the final product... a total no-no for most Illustration, but I like how spontaneous and fun it turned out. Here are my impromptu steps:
- ripped magazine pages glued on canvas with watered down gesso
- yellow dye for tint
- peeling off some glued parts off to create ripped texture
- graphite to transfer the sketch
- putting down gouache with a paintbrush
- putting down gouache with a toothbrush (splattering)
- industrial duct tape to rip the surface + create further texture
- black and purple Sharpies for outlines (oh, how un-artsy)
I entered this into the SCAD Small Works exhibition call for entries, alongside random pieces from the past. We'll see how that goes.
I will definitely continue doing more fun personal projects like this!!
