Here is a sketch of a big eyed gothic maiden. I've made some slight changes since you've seen her last. I think this is pretty much the sketch I am going with for this fairy angel, although I intend to finesse the hair a bit. I've drawn a couple of the flowers that I will have in her hair to the right, they will be very tiny though. It's easier for me to sketch at a size that's comfortable to me and then resize the sketch in photoshop to the size I want the art to be.
I believe the flowers are based on strawberry flowers that I photographed in the Descanso Gardens gift shop when they were in season... I'm planning to transfer her to a plank of wood and paint her there, but with the wooden planks I wire them first because I worry that I'll get the painting completely finished and then split the wood. It's very thick wood, but I feel better if I do that first...
I am inspired by those tiny little flowers... I am linking this post with Inspire Me Monday

ReplyDeletewire threw the wood?
Thanks so much Christine and Jennifer! The wire will be on the back of the wood, I use little screws. If I remember, I'll post a photo of the back.
