Hi
Today I'll be sharing page #7 of my mini art journal..
I always love figure sketching but am never good with proportions.. Now that's not a very good combination, is it? :D
I managed to capture very few pics during the whole process.. A step by step tute without pictures can be quite boring with a mixed media work.. So i'll just stick on to some basic facts..
I made a rough sketch & transferred to cardstock using carbon paper.. I fussy cut the different parts & used it as template to paper piece the whole image..
I colored the hair with distress inks (wild honey, tea dye, vintage photo)
The yellow & red bands colored with Staedtler fine tip markers..
I love the dimension achieved by all the layering.. I couldn't quite capture it.!
The whole bg sort of darkened up when i applied gel medium (camlin) over it.. I still dunno if that's the reason.. Well anyway let's consider this is Potions class happening in the dungeons :D (thanx malar for the idea ;))
The quote was written using uniball signo silver gel pen to add that touch of sparkle & shine..
I did manage to capture a pic during the initial stages. I did some editing & digital drawing over the photograph using picsart android app.. Wish i hadn't got too carried away with the bg later on.. So here i present version 2.0, Hagrid's Hut ;)
& yeah there's an interesting story behind the texture of the cauldron.. It was purely accidental :D i colored the fussy cut cauldron with black acrylic paint, applied folkart cracle medium & then top coated with metallic acrylic paint.. Being an impatient crafter, i went on to use my heat gun to speed up the process.. & guess what? it just bubbled up... In any other project it may have been a disaster.. But it suited just perfect for my little cauldron :D
I hope you liked this project with all the twists & turns.. Do lemme kno ur thoughts on this.. I'll be glad to know them.. Thanks for your time..
Create. Have fun.
