I was inspired by a Halloween decoration my mom has had since she was a child. It's a witch doll, very similar to this one, and at the bottom has a base you can store candies in.
I've always loved that thing, and so I drew this.
I got to play with BLENDING!! I loooovvve blending!!
Materials: Mechanical, .7 Papermate Pencil, a couple tissues, and I blurred some more in ArcSoft Photbase 2000, which is kinda like Photoshop, I guess.
May you all have Halloween Dreams...

They look kinda like those anger-marks used in manga. --- See the truth all around/Our faith can be broken/And our hands can be bound/But open our hearts and fill up the emptiness/With nothing to stop us/Is it not worth the risk?/Yeah,is it not worth the risk?~Our Lives,The Calling |

arkillian (Reply)Total Posts: 2994Oct 2, 2006 5:24 pmWell... How I do it is by desiding where the lighting would come from for the best mood. This pic would be good with a diffused light. At that point you deside what the subject is (the witch?) and make it stand out by making everything else not stand out, or not as contrasting. In this case, I'd make the moon almost white, the night sky black, and give the witch an over all grey hue with a halo of light on her edges. That's my thoughts anyways ^^ --- |
