I started with a blank 8”x8” canvas and created my sketch in pencil. Next I went over the pencil lines I wanted to keep in gray pen. I used this one.
I didn’t know that the pencil was going to smear like it did, but I was still able to see my lines. I then traced over my image in acrylic paint and got to work.
I followed the same technique for the background, which I tried to keep fairly simple. I find that I am really becoming drawn to simple backgrounds.
Oh I forgot, I also used some papers to add a little texture to the background!
Don't forget to keep creating. :)
