Mapping shadows- ferns

Shadow mapping lines and plants with marker pen and paint.
This is a fun method for kick starting the creative process. It loosens up my style of drawing and helps with the development of new designs.
The long thin shadow lines are created by the bamboo canes in a pot, and a thinner line from a piece of string that was blowing in the breeze. I mapped these shadows using marker pen on the paper.
I drew the shape of the fern leaves over the top of the marker pen lines with water-based paint.



Lovely as always :)
Thank you!
Awesome shadow painting my fellow investigator!!!
It's practice for drawing lines around crime scenes.
You always apply yourself well!!
So very creative, a great idea for a subject. Thanks for sharing the idea and process.
Maybe have a go yourself and see what you come up with. Icicle shadows would be an interesting image!
Beautiful work lady @opheliafu like every day, congratulations
Thank you, I do try :D
You are doing so many cool experiments! it is always fun to see what your next painting might be :D
I'm glad you enjoy them @camilla!
Really great technique, using the shadow. How do you make your gifs? Do you use an app?
I edit the video, then upload it to YouTube, then I copy the link to imgur. Then I trim it on imgur and paste that link into my post. I'm sure there must be an easier way! If anyone knows please share!
I see. I will let you know when I find something more simple. :)
😊 yes please do.
This is really cool. Thanks for showing the process.
So very creative and talented. Thanks for sharing.
