RE: Entry for "Trial by Comics" - Theme Star Trek - Mixed Media
Wow! This has got to be one of your best works.
I actually had a little trouble because I used watercolor paper which was rougher in texture than I would have liked, it made blending of the graphite a bit more difficult.
Yeah, right! ;) You made it look easy, that's for sure. The texture of the watercolor paper is perfect for capturing the subtleties of the shadows here. And I love how the graphite and oil paint are working together here. All around great work - Good Luck in the competition!!☺
Thanks :) well, I guess I should say that in this case the paper was working against what I was trying to do lol It's funny because this is one of the "easiest" ones I've done (in terms of not having to deal with hair, etc) but I agree that it came out looking quite well, which just goes to show I think how important composition can be in the overall piece.
You nailed it this time! All of the elements came together just right. Are you going to frame it??
I think I might try to sell it at some point; my long term plan has been to setup a website to sell prints from and originals like this one - but I haven't done it yet. My other thought is I might post my art on the steem marketplace and maybe try to sell some original art through there.
Sounds like you have a plan. One day at a time right ☺
