Sketch of a Big Eye Fairy Angel, March 31 Daily Art Sketches + Sakura Cherry Blossoms Original Painting Website Update...

Here is a sketch of a big eyed gothic maiden.  She is inspired by an image by Gustave Doré for "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner."  Although she looks a bit like a fairy, the book I found her in is titled "Doré's Angels."  I doubt I'll paint her, but I did enjoy sketching her.


I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in March.  This is day 31.

My Photograph of Cherry Blossom Flowers at Descanso Gardens + March Sketches Art, Day 30, Elven Angel Fairy...

I took this photograph of cherry blossoms at Descanso Gardens this year, although I do not think the cherry blossom trees are in bloom there right now.  They are such a delicate flower with such a brief blooming perioud, but they are a favorite of mine.  I hope that you will enjoy this photo!

Here is a sketch of a big eyed gothic maiden.  This is a second sketch of her, I'd like to paint her with betta fish friends...  I haven't decided yet if she is a fairy angel, mermaid, or goddess.  I usually know by now, but this time I don't.  What I'm going to do is try to get the sketch of her right, then I'll place her fish friends in photoshop and decide if she gets wings or not.  It might be too much, but I'm not sure...

In this original acrylic work in progress WIP big eye Day of the Dead / Dia de los Muertos fantasy painting, I've done most of her makeup.  I still need to paint in her eyelashes.  Then she gets some shading which I will be attempting to do with glazing.  After that, I'll paint her hair and any touch ups that she needs.  If this weekend were a normal weekend, it's possible I would have her done by Tuesday, but since we'll be celebrating Easter I think it's more likely she'll be done the Tuesday after next...  This is an 8"x10" painting on panel.

Here is a sketch of an older Gothic graveyard.  I was drawn to the beautiful tombstones.  This is one of three potential backgrounds I'm sketching for my Wednesday Addams painting.  I started off with about 20 options, narrowed it down to 6, then tried them in photoshop with the sketch of Wednesday.  This is the last of the three I decided to sketch, now I have to choose amongst them and refine the sketch to best suit Wednesday...

Dia de los Muertos / Day of the Dead Big Eye Art Original Painting Work in Progress WIP + March Sketches, Sketch 11, Fairy Angel...

I've started to do a little on this piece that I started last year.  I should really be working on my lamb, but I'm still refining the sketch.  In this original acrylic work in progress big eye Day of the Dead / Dia de los Muertos fantasy painting, I've done some more layers on her neck and shoulders.  I'd like to move on to her face, I plan on doing most of the shading of her face with glazing, so it will start out looking a bit flat.  However, as I progress with the WIP, it should hopefully improve.  I'm always torn between using wet into wet shading vs. glazing, but on her face I think it makes more sense to do glazing that way her makeup will have elements of shading as well...

I love to paint flowers, you may see some of my finished paintings at www.lisarusso.com if you'd like.

Here is a sketch of a potential wing for one of my big eyed gothic maidens.  I want it to have a steampunk feel with a mixture of organic and metal elements.  I like this, but I'm not sure if this is quite it though, I may need to play around with it more.  I've only sketched one of the wings as when I'm happy with it, I'll be able to flip it in photoshop and play around with it there as well.  In some cases my technique involves using a combination of tools, traditional and digital, to do what I hope is my strongest art...
