And it worked…. again. Thank God. So now I can heave a sigh of relief, and lay off the coffee a little, because if I mess up the fish, only their momma\’s gonna know. You mess up a human face-well, that\’s a little more problematic. I ended up using a different photo reference, rather than my daughter, because the picture I …
Paris, Pandora and paranoia
See how I jump around? Honestly. But I love this mermaid…I\’ve wanted to do a picture of my oldest daughter Zoe, forever-and this is the one. So in between the Zinnia girl and the Green man popped this. I started her somewhere last week and am ready to color her in. This pen and ink …
Thursday
