Today I'll share with you my variations on a drawing I did back in 2011 during the 52 weeks of Drawing Lab 2011. I had lots of fun back then with learning to draw, trying out different techniques etc. (BTW, Miss Jeannie, I miss you!) So here's the lioness I drew back then. Isn't she majestic? Like Mama Africa.
Then a quote from the song "Read all about it" by Emeli Sandé came to my mind.
The drawing, yes, I like it, but the lettering..........nope! So back to practice some handlettering.
Much better, isn't it? Love the fake calligraphy effect on the writing. Also pulled out my crayons to give it some color. But now I'm missing my fixative spray. Got lost somwhere in my workshop.
Here's another version of the lioness with my pencil ink brush/pocket brush, which I found while searching for art materials. Also added a bit of color to this, but it doesn't show really well in the photo.
Joining Paint Party Friday!
Very nicely done my friend. You are so talented.

AntwortenLöschenI love her and I do find that we are our own harshest critics when it comes to handwriting in art. I often cheat and add it digitally! Happy PPF from Number 19 :D
AntwortenLöschenI enjoy all your different versions of the lion! Happy PPF!
