As always, I am trying different styles and approaches... I am trying to loosen up a bit. This is my biggest problem when I am drawing - I overdo it sometimes. Not that it is wrong, but I wanted to simplify my illustrations as much as I can. I think it is quite tricky to create something simple but expressive and appealing...
So, I am developing a new line of very basic cards, and here is what I came up with:
Well, this is as simple as it gets for me so far....
your illustrations are adorable!
ReplyDeleteGreat illustrations, do you sell your cards at all? They're wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI seem go for heaps of detail myself, especially in my acrylic work - I've recently started painting in watercolour again and I'm quite surprised by how 'fluid' I can be with it - I really like the simple, and very imperfect finish Im getting (as in that you can see pencil lines, and sometimes the paint goes over the edges - for a perfectionist like me, thats a bit of a major breakthrough!! lol)
Sending love, J x
I hopy I will be selling my cards soon. At the moment I am just working on a decent portfolio and generating 25 ideas a day! Oh, and I LOVE watercolour!!! The problem is - I am rubbish at it:) I probably need to learn how to use it properly first:))))
