Color-Sketch Towel 3




What is there not to like about this towel?  Just look at those gorgeous colors… Really!





Well, he needed eyes so I got to work….I like this eye enough…but that “philtrim” area [area between the nose and the upper lip….had to look that up…who knew?] was not working for me…at….all!

So….I erased the lower portion of the nose and redrew…and worked it down as best as I could.





Ahhh…the “over the shoulder” view….my favorite!!  If only I had bigger hands…I could hold more pencils.  It’s such a tweak-fest…this color sketching!





I really, really want to go in with my markers and straighten things up a bit.  Make things pop…but I’m being a good-girl and holding back.  It’s always best to save that part until the very end!  Of which, I’m not there….too much left to do on that head of wet hair!

  1. I've been following you for a long time, but I'm always too busy scarfing down my breakfast and chugging my coffee to comment.

    This post made me want to comment. It's just stunning!! I think you'd make an amazing children's book illustrator. So colorful yet realistic. Just mesmerizing.
