Laundry Day

2010-10-26T20:39:00.002+11:00

Hi Everyone,
So i thought it was time for another Pin-Up girl. I wanted this to be a funny one. In the same way as the great Gil Elvgren

Here you can see the process i went through. I worked completely in Photoshop.
If you click the pictures you can see the full size images.

I started off by doing a very loose sketch in Photoshop. Just focusing on the main shapes and colours.

Then after this i went to the next step. I did the clean linework and touched up a bit of the colours.

The final one i painted over the previous layers and made the background.

Hope you all enjoy.

Hey Guys,

Some of you may know that i was working at the Royal Easter Show this year.
We had a stand there and i was doing Caricaturing, for 14 days straight...ouch.
Last year I did this for the first time.
It was a great experience for me to hone my caricaturing skills.
This year was even better, It was a lot busier and much more fun.

It was so busy in fact, i didn't get a chance to take that many shots.
Luckily for me i got to take a photo of one of my favourites.
This guy had a great face to draw. Hahha.

"That guy got FAT!"
I am shocked and amused at the same time as i look up to the

They turn red say nothing to me or the kid, but just drag him away.
