Here it is, folks. I’ve completed my first miniature of the year. Yay!
It is my pleasure to introduce to you, Mr. Mouse. Behold, the cuteness! As he crawls up his mountain of cheese he makes his way into the heart of all who see him.
Lately, I’ve had people asking to see process photos of the art I create. In this blog, I have decided to do just that.
When I decide to create a work of art, first I must choose what to draw, of course. In this case I wanted to draw a super cute mouse, so I took some time to look at pictures of mice to get inspiration. Then I set to drawing a rough draft, which you can see here, drawn in red pencil.
From the rough draft, I moved on to doing the final line drawing on a nice piece of Bristol paper with Microns. At this point I settled on a color scheme and got to work coloring in my new creation with Prismacolor pencils.
I began my coloring with the browns, oranges, and yellows of the cheese. Then moved my way through the soft grays of Mr. Mouse. I love the soft grays I put in Mr. Mouse, but I also wanted him to have a splash of color. This is what made me give him those big ol’ baby blues and his pink ears, toes, nose, and tail! Oh and I can’t forget his big yellow chompers!
To finish off this mini masterpiece I chose a background to accentuate the colors of the cheesy mountain and Mr. Mouse himself. The color scheme I went with is a fade from a violet blue to a light sky blue.
There you have it, Folks. This is a brief description of what I go through when I create a miniature masterpiece.
