8.5″x11″ ink on watercolor paper
The actual drawing is in dark brown ink, but I scanned it in black and white. Overall I like this rendition a lot more than the previous attempt. The only detail that’s bugging me are her eyes, which are a little too close-set.
On The Trail – Inked
Project: On The Trail
8.5″x11″ dip pen and ink wash on watercolor paper
This is an illustration for an interview with The Vagabonds to be published in Steampunk Magazine‘s upcoming issue.
The prompt for the illustration was silhouette, but I wanted to do something a little more interesting than a plain, solid silhouette. This is the result. I used mostly photos from The Vagabonds’ FaceBook page for information on their costumes and relative sizes, but I don’t think 100% accuracy was a requirement. ;)
I have created a new gallery page on my web site for technical illustrations. In the next few months I will be creating more illustrations of archaeological artifacts from an arctic dig at Cape Espenberg. I am available for commission of technical illustration of artifacts. The benefit of technical illustrations is to illustrate details of the artifacts which are difficult to capture with a photograph, such as emphasizing decorative details and surface texture, or visually describing the contours of the objects.
These are the specific illustrations I uploaded today:
I specialize in realistic, fine art treasures, portraits, wildlife art, and fantasy art, Celtic knotwork, and abstract minimalist art. My primary mediums include colored pencil, ink, and oil paint. Examples of my past work are displayed in these galleries. I am no longer selling art or taking commissions due to health problems.
