I liked the textures and lighting on the wall behind the window. - Ubiquitous Bodie Car - '37 Chevy
I think everyone takes photos of this car. But it IS really cool! - Pink Flamingos
- Old-School Electrical Box
Definitely not to PG&E specs. - Old, But Not Really Old
Definitely not Bodie OEM, but still old and interesting. How long has that bike been there and why are there pink flamingos in the basket? I guess we'll never know. - Hanna 8 (final) - detail
Detail of the finished portrait. This portion of the portrait is about 3.25" x 1.5" - Hanna 8 (Final)
This is the final Hanna the Harrier (hound) 5" x 7" scratchboard commission Reference photo provided by client. Scratched with a #16 X-Acto, colored with watercolor (dog & railing) & color pencil (railing) - Hanna 7
Scratched to fine tune after adding color. It's lighter, but just wait, I'll add another pass of watercolor, then minimal scratching to fine tune, and the portrait will be finished! I'm in the home stretch....
Check out this video where I added the highlights to her eyes.
And this video that shows scratching previously added color. - Hanna 6
Now with color! This is the first pass of watercolor, next I'll scratch to soften, blend & bring back details.
This video shows adding color to her eyes & nose.
This video shows adding color to her fur. - Hanna 5 - detail
Detail of the "all scratched" stage - Image #5 This portion of the portrait is about 3.25" x 1.5" - Hanna 5
All scratched, ready for color on Hanna. After looking at the railing for plenty of days, I'm happy with it, no further changes needed there. - Hanna 4
Now with "spooky eyes". I know it looks weird - the eyes are overscratched at this point, they will be a lovely warm brown when the portrait is finished. I'll stipple the eyes with ink & scratch more to make them darker, while still leaving enough white for the surface to accept color. Her nose is over-scratched also, that will be stippled as well. I left a black outline, so I don't lose the edges of her nose against the fur in that area. Once I finish the scratching in the central area and that tiny bit on the left, then I'll go back in & stipple.
