In order to extend the enjoyment of Mermaid Circus, I left Week 8 until I finished Radiant Faces. First up, La Sirena Gorda. The background is Distress Stains and she’s drawn with Prisma Pencils and permapaque pens. I’d put a lot of time with chin up faces, that I decided my full-figured gal would be chin up. For some reason, my gals tend to turn out very Chesty LaRue. By this time, pointy ears were routinely appearing on my mermies.
Watercolors has always been a bit intimidating for me. Watercolors and Prisma pencils on 140 lb watercolor paper. The shading could use some work, but overall, I’m pretty happy with Ginger Mermie.
Being an on-line art class junkie, I am working on Mika Diaz’ Face2Face class. I love her method of drawing noses and there’s a lesson on hair. Two mini classes with Tam: Summer Girls and Christmas Whimsy, so I can actually get holiday cards made this year. And not last minute! That’d be a treat. Watching the Summer Girls videos, I realized I missed Tam and the weekly Life Book lessons. Think I’ll sign up for 2015. I know, wacky.
Stay tuned and happy creating!
