Amber Doll Coloring progress

Ok, so I finished the first pass on the under painting. Next I will add some more contrast. The cool thing about acrylics is I can layer colors easily and not reactive the color.

Amber Doll Walk Through

I decided to start painting this drawing I did as a sketch of amber a few days ago. I have been using a new technique and adapting it to my style based on Bill pressings progress notes on his web site. To I thought I would share the painting process as I plow along.

Here you can see I traced the sketch down onto water color paper. I am starting to dislike Bristol because of the fact it just doesn't hold water all that well and sometimes the colors look dull.

It is very faint but my outline was done in red pencil. I am lying down the under painting for the image using acrylics.

Knocking Out Left Over Commissions

I got something like 20 commissions I am trying to take cards of. I have been getting up early so I can try and knock these babies out. some of these I will make prints of at some point if they look good enough.

I will sell the prints for $5.99 on ebay. I actually did have some stuff printed recently at size 4 x 6. I will be selling them at the convention. But I want to do a more traditional size for sketch cards.

anyway here are all the cards I did the last few days.

New Schedule

A part of my going back to freelancing is going to be a drastic change in schedule. no more sleeping in and super late nights. I think it is important to have a set schedule so I will be working the same hours every day and getting things done.

Remember, early to bed early to rise makes a woman healthy wealthy and wise!

Colored Paper Fun

If you notice these last few pages were done on color paper. I bought some to experiment with.

I will be putting together a New Commision Price list. So if you are interested take a look and feel free to contact me.

Girl Hat 4

Thanks so much for the feed back on this one. A person on DA also colored it for fun. so I hope you will take a look at his page.

I want to say thanks to all those that keep coming back and showing support on and commenting and looking at the work on my blog. I really appreciate it.

Bill pressing Coloring

I don’t know if many people know who bill pressing is but I absolutely love his work. You can find it on Daily Peril.

He is an amazing artist and I love his work and especially love his coloring. One day while searching through his blog I found that he did a little tutorial on his painting.

I got so excited I didn’t know what to do because I wanted to try it. I have been itching to do this for months and wanted to apply it to my sketch cards.
I did the first Princess Leia card this way. I scanned it and showed it to you guys but the scan really does no justice to how beautiful this painting technique really is. Thinks come out weird and grainy and it makes me angry cause I wish someone could hold it in their hands and see how happy I am with the way it turns out.



Anyway I wanted to share this card with you guys. I hope you will check out his site and enjoy it.

done on water color paper with acrylic and Dr. PH Martin Dyes and white gel pen.
