Another new medium, another new picture!
Here's my latest drawing! I've been doing a lot of art lately. It's fun. :)
The last picture was almost a new medium for me (I've used nice art pencils before, but never to do a large finished work), and this is almost a new medium too, since I haven't done a full marker drawing since the days of Crayola washable markers. Since these are a combination of ultra-fine point Sharpies in 24 colors and some Copic markers (professional-quality Japanese art markers) that I bought individually at Loft, I'd say this counts as a new medium for me.
I still have a lot to learn in how to use such nice markers, but I'm pleased with this as a first try! I want to work on getting the backgrounds to be smoother, since I hear that these markers are supposed to make that possible.
The picture is of Chiharrie and Azilie over the entrance to the Lagoon in Coral Grove. To do the ocean background, I used a poster I bought in Cairns which is now up on the wall in my living room. And my favorite tidbit about the creation of this picture is that the light green of the shallow water is a marker called "Coral Sea," which I bought as an "extra fun color" (in addition to various skin and hair tones) because, hey, I went to the Coral Sea! And I figured it'd be useful for this drawing...and I was right. It really is exactly the color that the water in my poster is. Very cool. :)
Anyway, hope you enjoyed this latest artistic update. ^^
