Kundry

It's my favourite snarky lady, Kundry! This is an exercise, drawn/painted in my mini Moleskine watercolour notebook. It taught me that I actually like working with my good old Staedtler pens best, but for some reason I like the result of the brush pens better :/. Sometimes with my Staedtlers I drift towards a kind of half-baked realism, whereas I prefer a more stylised drawing style. I'm just no good at realism - of any kind.

I like the colours in this one. About the rest I'm not so sure :p.

Scanner! :D

Double post because the new scanner has arrived and I've just made my first scan! :D That means I can share a better version of 'Bluebell Spring' - much brighter than the photo I posted last time. I have noticed that if I use the Photo Correction function on the scanner, the colours are much better. Yippee!

Florie

I finished Florie's outfit last weekend :-). She's turned out better than I expected!

Gawain, doll version :-)

Gawain, lacking only a belt. I have found some suitably-sized buckles yesterday, so I hope to make a belt soon. If he hasn't got any shoes, that is mostly because I love his feet so much that I don't want to cover them. Gawain's feet are sculpted in greater details than Morgana's or Little Gawain's, even though they were all made by the same company.

Bluebell Spring

I still haven't got a new scanner, so I tried to take a photograph of this drawing. The lady is Florie, daughter of the Carl of Carlisle in the eponymous romance. She is Gawain's second wife and one of my favourite characters in the (future of the) comic. Then again, I am ridiculously fond of every single one of my imaginary people. Even the villains are beloved.

I love drawing feet XD... Yay toes! Few things in art irritate me more than artists who can't be bothered to draw feet properly. Some seem to think that as long as the boobs and the hips look good, they have put down a proper human figure. Well, no. And I am the living proof that you don't need to be a great artist to draw nice feet, so 'too difficult' is not an excuse. There.
