Cornish Crafty Crabs! From sketches to painting.

Cornish Crafty Crabs! From sketches to painting.

This is stage one. I work straight from the Wacom tablet onto the computer to  quickly capture the idea spending as little time on finishing as possible, just to make sure the picture works as a whole.

By stage two I have worked out in my head the gaps and details I need to fill and with pencil and paper, draw all the elements I want in the image. 
Then in stage four I scan each element into the computer and separate them so I can move the around like 'fuzzy felts' until the composition is right.

Then I paint the image in the computer and there you have it. These images take between 3-5 days to complete.

Fantastic! So many great characters and details! Fuzzy felts! I bet that's like Colorforms, which I was just talking about the other day.

You really should have more visitors because your stuff is so great! I suppose you need to get out and visit and let people know about your blog (if you care about these things). Also, lots of folks post their Illustration Friday links to their blog, but you posted to your artist page and IF folks might have a tougher time finding a spot to comment. :)

Hey Cindy thanks very much for you feed back. Have you got an email or FB page so very can talk a bit more. I am a real late starter to social networking and don't really get it.
It would be great to chat to someone like you. This is my FB page.

    Writing and Illustration to me has been my number one passion ever since I can remember. I feel very fortunate that I get to do it every day.
