                     Hi guys!
                     This week, I have been working more on my Prismacolour skills-
                     the inspiration to this painting have been Alanna Myles "Black Velvet" video.
                     At first I actually thought of making her with the famous leather pants and
                     the white shirt, but I couldn't find a reference photo of her in the video that
                     I liked so I decided to go for this and I do not regret it;)
                 
                    A little tip from me, when you're in a creative process do not loose your head
                    if you discover that you actually want to make a different painting than the
                    one you had in mind at first. It is part of the fun to change your mind if you
                    see that the outcome will become better-of course that depends on what
                   you want to achive, but my experience is that you need to forgive yourself
                   a little bit as an artist-Things like the time you have available to make your paintings
                   also counts in the creative process, and it is important to remember that
                   you can still make fabolous art in short time if you just learn what works and
                   what doesn't work for you.

                  Anyway, here is the reference photo I ended up with:

               

As you can see, the background is pretty dark here, but my style is a bit lighter-I like to
 have a very light background, though I like to paint scary, dark things too but that's another story;)
-So I decided to make the colours a bit more cold to make it work in my painting-
and by that, I mean I made the highlights in her hair with a bit more blueish tone, and also
in her leather jacket to make the transition to become softer.

I did this by using a soft blending pencil.
I recommend this set if it's not an option to buy blending pencils seperately:


*Derwent Colour Collecton Set-in Oslo, it is available on Clas Ohlson-that's where i bought mine:)


*W.I.P Alanna Myles Prismacolour Drawing





At least but not at last, I have been working on something I really neeeded-and that is a new logo
for myself.

Here is the final result:




I wanted something simple,but elegant that would also fit nicely into my drawings
without taking to much attention.
Since I use a lot of bright backgrounds I wanted something in silver.

You like?;)

Have a great weeekend art lovers!

  1. The logo is very good! Slender and beautiful. It clearly works as you want it. Do you use Photoshop CC, isn't that the newest one? :)

    Yes, I use Photoshop CC. I think it is the newest one. Works pretty good so far so I'm satisfied with it.
