I can't believe I just said that. -.-
Marion & Eli
Inspired by: The results (so far) of our poll. But regardless of that, I knew I needed to practice drawing Eli a lot more than I have in the past. I'm not a big animal drawer (eh...?), so I find myself forgetting to feature Eli in some of the pages or strips. This is one of many Marion-with-Eli sketches to come, I'm sure.
There is still time to vote, by the way.
What I Used: Just pencils and a sketchbook. I switched pencil brands over the Christmas holiday from Prismacolor Turquoise to Faber Castell 9000. I was getting frustrated with the Turquoise leads breaking, and being too soft and a bit difficult to sharpen. So I switched. The Faber Castells (along with a new electric pencil sharpener) have been working out wonderfully well; but for this rough sketch, I went back to the Turquoise. Their softness (and shortness) made sketching a breeze, even though they are too short now to work in my new pencil sharpener. ;-; Now I use the Faber Castells for drawing (pages, strips, and illustrations), and the Turquoise for sketching-- at least until the new ones get short enough.
The Artist's Best Friend: This site. I don't own a dog, so I have to study photos of them to learn all their characteristics and behavior. These photos are candid and natural, and actually help me understand Eli a little more. ^^
Well, thanks for reading once again. I've got the next Shapeshifting & YOU prepped and ready to go. Check it out on Friday-- just get ready to read. See ya then!
