Back from Autoptic! That was quite a success in my book. I talked to many old friends, made some new ones and had decent sales. I'm already deep into prep for the new semester, but I still had time to work on some pages from the book.
I posted the concluding page of the Cemetery Interlude before, but I have a better scan of it, so am re-posting it, along with another single page interlude.
I've previously posted thoughts on the graveyard to college page.
Thoughts on the new page: deliberately light to no backgrounds. This is a moment between Mother and me. In that moment, everything else slipped away.
Tools used on this page:
- Papers: tracing paper, various sketchbooks, Canson Bristol board
- Pencils: Lyra 2B graphite stick, 4B lead and holder, 2B Ticonderoga classic, tech pencil and 4B lead
- Erasers: kneadable, vinyl eraser, Click eraser
- Hand Tools: 6" and 14" straightedge, triangle, T-square
- Inking
tools: Tight Spot correction brush, Holbein white gouache
- Markers: Copic 0.25, 0.3, 0.8, 1.0, Faber Castell brush, LePen brush, Copic Brush and Micron small brush
- And of course, Photoshop
The next three or four pages will conclude this chapter. I need to confer with family on a couple points as we approach the end.
