Hello, here is recap from yesterday’s live.
& all…Thank you to everyone who tuned into my live video! I’m mazed seeing the number going up, it really means a lot. THANKs a BUNCH!Every Thursday morning I’m kind of bit nervous and I spend a lot of time thinking on how will the live go!?
Then I start preparing for it…setting up my table with all necessary things and an overhead phone stand, music in background (Good news is I have got a very nice speaker in the studio now, yet to connect it with bluetooth of my laptop as phone is used for going live!>_<) and setting up do not disturb time…
In preparation for today’s live, I have used a sketch from sketchbook and scanned it, then print it on normal printing paper and then traced it with HB pencil over the a5 size soft pastel paper from Brustro Brand (Off white colour with yellow tint).
I hope you enjoy watching this recording and perhaps try paint along whenever you get some time, if you do so please share your illustration with me, I’ll be very happy to see it and share them on my socials.
Let’s dive into some take aways:
I loved using this paper as it has a soft tint of yellow instead of sharp white.
Targeted 30 mins, which seems too short for this media.
Doing brown line seems a nice decision, it gives a finishing touch to the illustration.
Here is the final illustration, enjoy the spring season!
I just realised, this can be very nice illustration to print on T-shirt or a Mug or a Tote bag. What do you think? Shall I give that a try? Would you like to buy any such seasonal illustrated things?
Lightbulb moment of the day:
Creating vignette was a fun experience, hence I’ll try spot illustration next in session…!
Join me for my next live video at 11am on Thursday in the app, don’t forget to block your calendars!
