I've been trying different techniques with gouache, and the autumn leaf tutorial exposed some flaws in my ability to use the hair dryer without sending paint droplets skidding over the page. Again, the gel pen is my friend for making things look better.
Then, because I had a bunch of extra paint already mixed, I made some blobby aliens and they were way better than the leaves.
I especially like the one at the end of the second row who looks like it's shoving its butt out. Once you see that, you can't unsee it.
Obligatory Alien Kitten Pictures
Yorkshire Pudding went back for a recheck today, and she's doing so well that I thought they might keep her. (They didn't. She's still on the surgery schedule for next week.) Anyhow, I wanted to make sure I had pictures of her, so I took a couple on the traditional graduation backdrop.
Her pupils are so dilated that she looks like an alien. In handling her, I've noticed her irises are a lovely gold, but you have to really work to see them. I'll try for another set of pictures before I take her back on Monday, but I'm not sure how to make her not look like an alien...
Alien or not, she's looking MUCH better! Whew. She was a poor thing when she got there. It's great to see her looking better. You should take some high quality digital pictures of your art work and turn them into cards. They're very unique and would make nice blank cards or thank you cards or you could get really motivated and write some poetry inside the cards!
