...this year we are keeping it simple around here for Christmas....
On Monday I brought the box (with boxes) of Christmas decorations up from the cellar and I have slowly begun to decorate...I only put 5 pieces so far:
~ the 3 dimensional plywood tree/ candle holder (from Habitat)
~ the handmade reindeer from salted dough (decorated with little details made with golden ink) I made last year during one of my Art&Crafts in English sessions with mighty, little students
~ two ...gigantic woolen socks, tied to the stairs up (not seen here - picture to come)
~ the pair of wooden ice skates which is hanging on one of the window handles seen here
~ and the two handmade angels from Munieca, purchased last year via Etsy (seen in comments)
This year I've decided to be decorating little by little, adding something every now and then until I feel that the outcome is ready. And while last year I created a winter Wonderland as among a few lovely others, wonderful Kirsten from Simply Grove had blogged about it , this year I have a need ofr basics, keeping it simple and an attitude for less is more.
I had a question from someone about some of my artwork, specifically WOOL, so here is a "step by step" on this drawing.
There is no set process for me when creating a drawing or digital painting. Sometimes I will draw thumbnails to work out an idea, sometimes I will just start drawing.
With digital drawing I use photoshop and a wacom tablet. I do not have any special brushes and use what ever came with the program. I tend to use only 2, regular round hard brush and a rectangular dry media brush. Wool was made using the dry media brush. Brush opacity for most of the drawing was set to about 30% to create more texture
I work with layers on all these digital drawings and WOOL had 12 layers in total. The number of layers will vary per piece.
For my superhero sketches I am drawing on regular cheap copy paper. I am not using an expensive sketchbook or special paper. I use what ever I have laying around which sometimes may mean the back of an index card or a blank 4x6 thermal shipping label.
I personally like softer leads so almost every pencil I own is B pencil. My favorite pencil at the moment is my chunky 6b prang sketching pencil.
My go to mechanical pencil is my 0.9mm pentel pencil. The lead softness is somewhere on the B side.
for erasers I use a Staedler mars plastic eraser and, very rarely, a kneaded eraser.
I prefer to draw on harder surfaces so my drawing surface tends to be either my animation disc or a clipboard.
Feel free to ask me any other questions.
