Kittys Drawings

Hi All!
Having a great Sunday? The weather is perfect here in Melbourne – not too hot with a nice cool breeze.
Me and Jonny went to the annual Volkswagon meetup out in Cranbourne. It’s been 60 years since they made the first Kombi so there was a whole cavalcade of them from each year of production. Cool as! We also saw a whole tonne of Bugs and quite a few Type 3′s. Not very many Fastbacks like ours which is a good thing I think – our little car is quite unique! Jonny is full of ideas of what to do with it now. Yay!

So…back to drawing stuff. The last couple of days I’ve been working on this. Referenced from a photo – but she doesn’t really look like the girl in the photo – which I’m okay with. Trying out digital painting in Photoshop and only doing tonal values (black & white). I’m getting the hang of working in PS and may be even preferring it over Painter right now. Crazy huh! Hehe. This took a total of about 3 or 4 hours….lost count after the first hour
I could have worked it a LOT more but thought I should leave it before I overdo it. Kinda like the roughness anyway.
As you can see in the work-in-progress (WIP) pics, I changed her proportions a bit….as I was going along I noticed more things that were a bit out of place.

And the WIPs.

Bya!

It’s not quite her yet! A mate at work wants me to draw a sketch for his wife’s next tattoo. She wants Rizzo in this pose. Awesome fun to draw! I haven’t finished it yet – just getting the pose right. Which isn’t quite right yet….The feet need work! Doh!

Then add the right clothes and the right face. Hehe.

I drew this on the train home. Took about 25 mins tops. Inlcuding the first sketch I did which was terrible and too big to fit on the page. So I only show you this And shuddup I know her hands look like claws! Boo! My travel sketchbook is only A5 and with my dreadfully scribbly sketching style it’s hard to do details when I’ve already charred up the page with my heavy mechanical pencil lead. So there

More to come tomorrow! I’m halfway through painting a cucumber in Photoshop. It’s going to turn out better than the cherry. Compositionally at least!
Lots of mad crazy posting huh. Seriously can’t stop thinking about drawing lately. Consumes almost ALL my thoughts.

Byeeee
