Soooo, since I last wrote, we've had snow...snow...and more snow! And even though it's lovely to have a bit of the white stuff, I have to admit, I'm glad it's gone! Now I'm not being a scrooge, it's simply because I was snowed in for 3 days, which you would think meant I had plenty of time to do work (which was true), however it did make me a little stir crazy!
 |
| This was my street... |
 |
| ...and this was my back garden. Very pretty I have to admit. |
So anyway, whilst snowed in, I did a bit of doddling and painting. There are lots of rough sketches, some have potential...some not so much!
Here is the main character Sophie-May, painted.

Sophie-May in her onesie, with her teddy.

 |
| Possible ideas for the mum and dad... |
 |
| Rough sketches for the dog...think the bottom left one works best. |
 |
| Rough sketches for her sister. |
 |
| Rough sketch of the possible first scene? |
On a completely different note, after struggling for years to trace larger images on my A4 lightbox, I decided to bite the bullet and buy a larger one. Quite a bit larger...A2! Thought I may as well skip past A3 and go the whole hog!
 |
| And here it is! |
Of course I didn't take in to consideration where exactly it was going to fit in my bedroom, which is already full all my paints, papers, books, my A3 scanner (no room for this either, it lives under my bed). Although it sits very nicely on my desk in the picture, I kind of need that space to draw and paint! Ah well-a worth while investment I feel.
On a side note, I procrastinated today by sorting through some of my paint brushes and finding a nice new home for them...
