Sketch for this piece is done at last. It's huge, barely fits on my desk. 40x20 inches. This will be the largest watercolor I've ever done (I have done bigger acrylics back in my college days, but never something with this much fine detail).
I don't usually do color roughs but I think for this one I might do a bit of color prep just because it's too big to wrap my head around with choosing colors on the spot.
Pure magic. Can't wait to see it in colors. :D
ReplyDelete40x20 inches?! That is huge, especially for watercolor. Looking forward to seeing it finished, I'm sure it'll be spectacular.
ReplyDeleteThis will definatly get a DD when it's done :D
ReplyDeleteNo seriuosly it looks amazing already, and wow the size is really huge:O..
but who'd be better qualified for the job than you ;D
This is going to be stunning! looking forward to seeing progress.
ReplyDeleteSuperb ...I bet you can`t wait to start on this. Slaps forhead, what I`m I saying!.. you`ve probably already finished it by now ...ha!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been watching your blog too long, but I watched you on DA though... will you by chance post some in progress shots as this goes along? And/or your prelim color studies? As a fellow illustrator who struggles with overall color scheme in my watercolor pieces I would be interested to see how you progress on this piece.
ReplyDeleteHello Laura --
ReplyDeleteI probably will not be able to post any progress shots of this one. It's just too big. It took me 8 passes to scan this and then about 20 minutes to piece it all together.
maybe a camera shot ;) can't wait for the results !!!
ReplyDeleteTam Lin is one of my all time favorite faery tales. This is lovely and I'm looking forward to seeing more of it!
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited about this one!
