I am working on a new
project. I plan to use the original drawing in a photo collage, but also wanted
to keep a scan of my original to use to make some scrapbooking paper. I drew my
artwork onto a piece of matt board.
I took a little bit
different approach in this project and used a quilting template after I drew a
grid.
I
covered the grid with what appears to be stitching lines and then added some
shading with my Crayola Twister colored pencils.
I like the way the
spider web appears to be hanging from the upper corner of the page. I decided
on a Halloween look and added a little red shading in the bottom points of my
background grid and then used a red fine point Sharpie pen to draw in some flames.
I gave it a bit of a
spooky look by dabbing some black ink around the edges. This changes the
freshly drawn look to appear aged. I just love the Memories brand ink products
to do this, along with a thick stencil brush.
To continue with the
Halloween theme, I added some bat rub-ons.
There we go – my Halloween
art that I can take to my printer to make cardstock paper to use in
scrapbooking or journaling. And then I
can use my original drawing to make my photo collage. My daughter Ruth has some
great pictures of herself that were taken while she was in costume for the
Renaissance. I can’t wait to get started on this piece.
