Putting The Work In…. So the past few days I’ve been slapping an underpainting onto a canvas but now the serious stuff has to start, I need to get stuck into the details. I want to have the head thrown back from the torso so I took a few photos of long-suffering Husb (I guess he must be my Muse) and drew this one into my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet using a free Markers app. I blocked in the background in a beige-y colour and then worked up the drawing with white and a couple of brown shades, finishing with orange on the eyebrows. I used the stylus and my finger, the stylus gives a more defined line. Husb is very tall and I am short so I am used to seeing him from this angle. I love a nice bit of foreshortening.
Here’s how far I’ve gone with the underpainting ….
I’ll get the head painted on in more detail next ….
“Husb is very tall and I am short so I am used to seeing him from this angle.” 😂😂😂 I can identify–used to have a husband like that!
Not the most romantic viewpoint 😁
