So, I've been working on an illustration very recently. It is actually for something, but I can't divulge as to what exactly. However, I have been feeling neglectful of my followers to tend to fancy the hand work over my photos. I've gotten some feed back lately and the consensus I've gathered is that most of you feel the same as I do.... Where the blazes are your other talents!? Honestly, they've been abused, and have refused to come out to play for some time; with the help of some R & R and possibly some 'candy' I coaxed the sucker out of hiding, and I put myself to work!
I began with the idea, and did a rough sketch. Having not worked with transfer paper in a while. I decided to try it again and forgo the whole scanning digital rigmarole.
It really only took me about 20 minutes, and then the inking on top of that took about another hour. All in all it seemed like a pretty quick process. Oh, and yes, in the picture above, that is my nail polish in "Juicy Tomato" and a container of dental floss. I often floss and paint my toe nails when I'm blocked. Don't ask me why, but it helps. At least I feel better once I've done one of the two.
There you have it. Some pretty rough pics of my short process of getting back into the swing of things. I can assure all of you that this cowboy has a name, a story and one hell of an attitude. He's being created for a very special person who should take good care of him, and probably not feed him after midnight unless he demands it. Now I've gone and said too much. Updates on the cowboy soon.
