Elys, this stuff just gets better and better. I think you are really on to something here :) there's so much going on and attention to detail which makes it really very engaging and fascinating to look at! The colours are working great even if they are not quite how they were originally intended... is this more or less how you will draw the finals? Any ideas on a story? Cannot wait to see this published I would like a signed copy please ;)
ReplyDeleteCheers Brown. I'm going to keep with the coloured line for the finals but I was thinking I'd have ink wash layered behind it (like in one of the teacher pictures below) to make things a little more solid and so I can have tone and depth etc. What do you think? Is there anything you think should be different/needs work/ strikes you as just wrong? No real story yet I'm afraid. I'm still getting to grips with the world they inhabit and there's a few things I need to work out before I can start on a half decent narrative but don't worry as soon as I come up with something it's going straight to you for review my illustrative therapist. Published, ha!
