Description
and... collage experiment #2!

I have a bunch of this black and white patterned scrapbooking paper and decided to actually put it to use. xD

I like drawing deeeer. They're cute. <3


The deer are pen and blue colored pencil on lilac (oh yes, LILAC) construction paper. Plus a bunch of scrapbook paper, black and white acrylic, and white gel pen.

I really don't like this compositionally, I kinda wish I'd put the deer in a different place on the paper. Lack of balance, blahhh. D:

OH MYG OD. THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
and my gosh. I was so like, OH LILAC UNICORN HERE I COME! about the commission that I thought this was a unicorn at first. LOL

SILLY ANNA.

<333 I love. the way you drew the horns and legs and I'm thinking of Harry Potter too, after I read what Prettyingreen said, lol...
I seriously adore the background too, it's so fashionable and quaint somehow and yet still foresty....Idkit'sgood.

wow I love how the deer kinda 'explode' on the page :0 Its all so pretty and magical hmm, but one thing I might say is that maybe you could have softened down the mountains so they stand out from the trees a bit, just a thought though , still love it

I can see what you mean, now that you mention it. In most cases you want the subject to be facing into the picture, not out of it. I really like the style.

JadedInNowhere [2009-08-07 02:06:06 +0000 UTC]

I think compositionally I just want the deer to be a little lower, but I really like how the mountains are made of the argyle because the pointy-ness of the design is indicative of how mountains should be to me. But idk if this speaks of 'softness' at all to me. All of the harsh white and black and then the stern expression of the buck.

IceandSnow In reply to JadedInNowhere [2009-08-07 03:04:42 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I wish I'd put them further to the left and further down. I really don't know what I was thinking when I was gluing everything down. xD

hahaa, that was just the title that came to mind. For some reason this reminds me of a quilt, so that must've been why. xD
