tripperfunsterI went fairly simple on this one, to dip my toe in the water, so to speak. And because I"m awesome, I took some Wip shots! It's so funny how this medium is like … nothing … nothing …OMG I TOTALLY SEE IT!
For paper, I went to Micheals and bought these 12x12 scrapbooking sheets. They were on sale 3 for a buck, so I went to town and spent FOUR WHOLE DOLLARS! And now I need to go back and buy more, because I want a larger range of colour. I could totally be an art-supplies hoarder. Someone call A&E!
Instead of white as the base layer, I used beige.
The black really makes it pop, eh? Please note that inside my china/curio cabinet you see no china. But if you look closely, you can see Sulu, Iron Man and Thor. Not pictured are Megamind, Doofenshmirtz and Bender. ;)
And here he is with a shitty photoshopped background. Thanks for looking!

Well done!

Keep up the cutting!

Negative space is something you continually learn about, and it certainly doesn't add anything to you IQ! (maybe your ART IQ?)

Date: 2014-10-01 11:39 pm (UTC)Yeah posterboard's a pain in the ass, but I used to do a lot of black marker art and that will make most paper warp so I used posterboard so that's what I always had around. Mostly that was just slicing out specific rectangles for the pic I was doing though, straight cuts with a ruler.
I keep trying to motivate myself to make stuff again (even did gishwhes this year) but it's hard.
Me to brain- You have all this crap to make stuff out of, make something!
Brain- Meh.
It comes and goes.
