Description
A Faery... That's so lame...I found this old pencil sketch and I thought "well that's a horrible waste of a pretty good sheet of paper". And so, after 4 years, I decided to finish what I started. It's a good thing though, as I've been too lazy recently to come up with anything new.
The finish is lame and cliche, I know. Just walk on by and don't mention it ;] I decided to submit it anyway, because there was some serious masking going on, the one thing that wasn't actually "speedpainting". Enjoy my "re-use" approach.
80. Melancholy Work in Progress: [link] the mentioned sketch from 2005...size: 30x40 cm
medium: Fabriano paper, W&N Watercolours, salt, W&N Masking fluid applied with a traditional nib and a toothbrush, black ink, masking tape.
stock: My own photo from October 2005, back when I had long, natural hair.
