I was at a loss for what to draw and just started scribbling loops and lines. As I was looking at the shapes, I started erasing away lines and the Goblin idea formed up. I wanted it to be cute, fun and not realistic and lineart fit that bill. Except, I've never done lineart before and that was quite the adventure for me. Learned a lot that will be applied to the next oneB.Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01330848786279830822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837276649399488973.post-60303027345489010432013-07-06T04:50:00.001-05:002013-07-06T04:50:35.007-05:00Love Spell Number 9 - Process
Getting into digital art after a long break and painting with traditional media. Really loving being able to use my Wacom now (old PC couldn't run it). This is my process, sorry I got into coloring and forgot to take screenshots of that part. This started from a scribble.

A Goldfish is a symbol for abundance and prosperity and a popular symbol in China. To keep a lose style but mimmick the shimmering and translucency many layers with thin glazes of black, violet, deep blue, red and yellow were used. I love aquariums and watching fish. My favorites are the brightly colored ones like goldfish. The way they shimmer and swim.

He was 5 1/2 months old and had been healthy. He just stopped breathing. Thankfully the police were able to revive him 15 minutes later. Had we taken naps and were not waiting on more family to arrive we'd have never known he stopped breathing.
