I went to a lecture given by illustrator Mark Beuhner the other night. He showed a lot of work along with originals from his new best seller "Snowmen at Christmas." They were wonderful and full of color. His first snowman book was called "Snowment at Night," all about what snowmen do at night. Then I checked Guy Francis' blog (who went to the lecture as well) and his toilet paper snowman inspired me. I also used a sepia ink instead of black as the accent on the outline as Guy suggested previously. So, here's what came of it.
I like it!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, sorry I snapped the other night--been doing that a lot lately! :( --hope I didn't offend!
I like the sepia ink. It's a little softer...like two-ply.
Snapped? What? I don't even recall. And don't ever worry about offending me...it doesn't happen...I grew up with 6 brothers.
ReplyDeleteWow, posting like a crazy woman. Nice stuff. Did you show this one to Mr. Buehner? It's very funny. Do you like the sepia? I think it works with the watercolors nicely. btw don't mind my wife-- she snaps at me all the time and I never notice. Oh, it was nice meeting Rhett the other night too.
