Client work – Beauty Fool blog header
Hello!
Time for some art! I’ve finally finished the work for my other client – Renee at Beauty Fool asked me to draw her a new header for her site. She wanted a rough icon look in black and white, of a girl applying lipstick. She sent me some reference images as well as some of my own work that she liked. It didn’t take me long to whip up a sketch but and later the final art was done. Happily, we didn’t even need to do any revisions! Though I did make two versions, one with colour, only because I got a bit excited with the digital watercolour in Corel Painter. Up until I got my new computer, using the digi watercolours was just not an option as they are so realistic to use, my poor little laptop couldn’t cope with the heavy memory load. Painter mimics the wetness of the paint spreading across the paper in real time (if you choose it to) – you can adjust the drying time, spread of the paint, even the direction and strength of the wind pushing on the paint while it is drying.
My new Beast takes care of this with ease and I’m itching to play around with these tools along with the other ‘real’ paints like acrylic and oil. Yay!
SO….here’s the black and white followed by the colour version.

I wanted to go fairly simple and subtle with the colour – the digi watercolour I used on the hair using a big wet bristle brush. It produces the nicest soft wash, it’ll be fun to try out different paper effects and layering later.

Anyways, back to work!

Goog gawd Esz, that Apple is delicious … the office chair, your hair, can probably merge like Avatar.
The desk , the desk needs accidental acrylic paint or some such (it's so clean xP).
and uhhh … my Photoshop takes about 15 seconds to load (CS3 too xP)
Keep that wrist flowing creative and them cuticles lifted.
