Coral

Sorry for the long delay, switched jobs and now I have more time for artwork and I have Photoshop CS6 up and running at a 75% functioning program. Better than where I was before but still got to work out the kinks.

So let me introduce you to a project I've been working on here and there titled Coral. I originally wanted to go for an antique cameo look with a bit of a twist. However the art muse decided to take a slightly different direction.  



Coral

This piece is a combination of Copic Marker, Metalic Permanent Marker, Pen and Pencil. It started out as a Lunch Time Doodle in .5mm pencil, then I wanted to frame her in something not so traditional, but the Koi Fish looked out of place without a splash of water. A few adjustments here and there to the freehand sketches and scanning them into the computer and a couple test prints for practice with the Copic Markers, since I'm still learning how to use them another scan into the computer and touch-ups with Photoshop CS6 later Coral emerges from the depths to find balance.
