Did a bit more on that Dragon

The 'pre sketch' from Book Expo-
I did a bit more while sitting at my Caba Creative trail stand  (when I wasn't making the fish hat.)

Book expo- Large drawings






Book Expo drawings and paintings



 A few unfinished ones here- ones I sort of started then gave up
or thought  "this bit has to dry" and put it aside then never came back to it.



 A bit rude this....but then if its good enough for Norman Lindsay to do these sort of things.....

Little Bad Wolf.

Woefully behind I feel- my replacement cintiq pen arrived today.
Thankfully it worked/cintiq works so I don't have to face the loss of $3000 piece of equipment.
But I have been trying to test with watercolour and find some colours I'd like to use.
Here is an example.

Tinkering

added a bit more- 
this watercolour paper buckles badly and I'm too lazy to stretch it (too used to those watercolour blocks)- so I keep making mistakes with fine stuff on all the up and downs of the buckles.

Dodgy troll

New cintiq pen still hasn't arrived-
will it all work when it does?  :(

Mini Fenrir

An extrapolation of that fox image and style
- I sort of like the rough brushstroke with the large brush.
Trying to love the rough.
Again a bit  more children's book-ish than my usual childrens book look.

Faun

In progress- scanned it in so far.

Getting a steadier hand I think when it comes to the tiny tiny eyes.
Again you can see my detailed under drawing....haha


Technicolor wizard

another quick fiddle on these watercolour sheets
I like the glowy look to the phantoms behind him...

Just imagine how it might look if I knew what I was doing.
And took more than 40 minutes

another watercolour scrap...

I wonder when my new cintiq pen will arrive-?
Was it the pen that was broken or is it the whole thing?

Well the pen- I made sure it was broken...
tried fiddling it to see if something was loose and the whole thing fell to bits in my hands
:(




Startlingly real portrayal...

of the blue jelly footed space pug
as seen on pluto- if they'd get decent cameras


I should use my powers for good instead




Sugar Princess

Half baked unfortunately- started on the left with dress decorations and .....nothing on the right.
A scratchy idea for a Little Bad Wolf character.

 Just need to learn more about princess dresses I guess.

Another Springbrook troll

Am going to do a bit more on it but thought I'd scan it while it was just painted- because once the watercolour diffuses overnight it will look different  :/
