Digital Sketch: Washed White

A friend asked about whether or not I'd draw an idea for her that was inspired by lyrics from a popular song we've done in worship service. She sent me a sketch of the idea and so I got to thinking and doing some research. Went first to unsplash to study how water flows over things, found some great poses for reference and some hands in a pose that worked and then I composited the images in photoshop and went to town. This process took way longer than expected [as usual LOL]. She didn't hire me - after our back and forth discussions, she did another sketch and seemed happy with it.

Here's the original sketch she sent.

Here's my first version of the digital sketch.

She said it was too dark and I agreed fully. It was a deluge of blood - little too freaky.

This is the next sketch she sent. Much better than the first and certainly gets the idea across.


This is the final version of my digital drawing and a peek at the under sketching. Could probably refine this a lot more, but although I enjoyed working on it, I've spent too much time on it already.

Sculpture: Man's Face and a Hand

     I've been watching a lot of Ace of Clay on Youtube recently and really wanted to try some of his techniques but I wasn't at home that day.  Dad has some super soft stanky clay that he uses to work out some of his carvings and so I got into that this week. Maybe it's time to pull out my sculpture stuff again. Really do miss it - I enjoy that more than I do writing or drawing or... probably even eating LOL  Anyway... this clay was really soft stuff and it was hard to keep from smashing it or doing any real detail work - I mean, look at those ears HA!
