Sometimes I really do make finished pieces of art! It's a RARE occasion lately! It is one of my 2014 goals to make more finished pieces of art, though...
Here is the process for this little guy:
^^^Here's the scan of my sketch
^^^after I touched it up in Photoshop
^^^And then I decided to do something completely different with it. I just added in some watercolor flowers I already had on the computer. I'll probably go back and revisit the original at some point because I like where that was going. In the meantime, I totally used the PenTool in Illustrator and it was amazing. What what! The whole time I wanted to yell like Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone, "I'm not afraid anymore! Do you hear me!?? I'm not afraid!!!" Okay, so... The Pen tool scares me a little bit still, and obviously I have a looong way to go. But that's okay! Practice makes perfect, right?
