Description
Project 1 for my "Introduction to Illustration class"The prompt for the illustration was to create a piece that showed a phobia. So here I decided to show Chaetophobia... The fear of Hair. I really enjoyed doing this piece because our professor keeps pushing us to use our own style. *GASP* In my last coule of illustration classes saying the word "Style" is like dropping the F-bomb in church on Easter... You don't say it. I haven't quite figured out my style just yet, and this is something that has bothered me for quite some time. A lot of the artist around me already have developed their own style, and I'm "Conistantly Inconsitant" ... So here I wanted to draw, basically, however the *beep* I want! Overall I think I like it.
This is a mixture of Watercolor, Gouache, and Ink on Brystol Board Paper, and Photoshop editing to create the canvas look on the background (Background color added also in Photoshop)

It's Great, you conveyed the fear in relation to the hair great. And I got to admit, if my hair suddenly turned into a wolf, I would have a fear of it too. The shading is great and the highlights add a nice flow. I am having a hard time "finding my own stlyle" too, but just too let you know, I liked your style before it was cool

Thank you! I'm glad you like it, and it means a lot to hear that! yeah, you were cool before cool was cool!
You have a style, its a cross between Disney and Awesomeness!!! finding a style takes years, and it never stops developing. Your Awesome now, and it's only going to get better!

Wow, man, look for the details! Get rekt! Haha.
No worries, I've been looking for your arts for a good time, and I have
to say that you looks to have a style. And I like it! Mainly when you use
the perfil pose, this isn't the easiest thing to do.
Also, loved the use of lighting and shading as well, it really looks great.

Oh Gosh, thank you! That is awesome to hear!
I'm glad you think that I have a style of my own, It's something I need to develop more, so It's good to know I have a starting place.

I've had classes where style was a bad word. They wanted technical stuff. Maybe your style is being consistently inconsistent. I love working with bristol now that I'm into Copics. However, I am having problems getting it to scan good. I'm having to take pictures of it so that it comes out right.

It's funny how that works. My old professor would be rolling around in his grave if he heard the word "Style".
XD Maybe, although hopefully I can figure something out soon. A person style is like a fingerprint. It can make the difference of me being recognized as an actual artist or not.
YES!!! I love Bristol too! It's awesome. Copics, how do they work for you, I have a problem getting them to be consistent, or well blended.
Scanning problems. Do you use photoshop, or anything to edit the pictures?

I have a style, but I'm not a fan of my personal style. So I guess you could say I'm a work in progress there. I'm not having any problems with Copics. I don't have many colors, so until I can get some more, I'm not using them. Every paycheck I buy a few. I have all the neutral grays, so I'm just using them for now. Blending, at least for the grays, I put the lightest down first, then add a darker where it needs to be darker. Then I go back with the lightest, which is the "0" and blend it all together. I have a Copic blender, but I don't like it because you have to do it right after you put the marker down and it's still slightly wet, because as soon as it dries, the blender doesn't work on it. So I'll just grab the 0 again and blend it that way. I've already been through a 0. Also, I don't like the bigger ones. While they're refillable and last longer than the Copic Sketch, the tips are rigid. With the Sketch, the tips are soft and work more like a brush. When I scan them in, you can see every single stoke I made with the markers. I might have to play around with my settings on the scanner, but so far I'm not having any success with it. Congrats on The Last Witch Hunter contest. You deserve to win.
