OH, NOW WHY THE CONCERN?

Chapter 3: It's All for the Better

She didn't see Jareth as she rushed her wet-haired brother from the house, his backpack slung over one shoulder. Nor did she spot any goblins or chickens lurking and later, when she allowed the time to contemplate, she wasn't sure how she felt about that. One the hand-relief that he took her seriously, on the other-oddly disappointed, but that was absurd. Why on earth would disappointment figure in Jareth's absence?

"Where's Jareth?" Sarah heard thwarted plans in Toby's young voice.

"He's gone," she said ushering out the front door.

"Gone?" Toby's eyes widened and he gl

This is another macaw portrait, this time done against an abstract, framed background. The macaw is done in colored pencil while the frame and background is a combination of Inktense pencils and wax resist crayons.

I really love birds and love discovering new ways to draw and present them. I love the abstract background and the floating feathers. The wax resist crayons add subtle designs to the background within the variegated colors.

I really enjoyed working on this one and he turned out much better than I expected. Halfway through I wasn't sure what to think as I'm just starting to play with Inktense, but I like how vibrant and abstract they can be.

Thanks! I'm very happy with the way the background turned out, as it was a new experiment for me. I love using bright, saturated colors.

LOL, yeah I know how you feel. I thinking of doing an abstract piece just using that background technique. It turned out WAY better than I hoped.

Inktense water soluble pencils, layered, clear wax resist crayons for the designs you see (helps that I have a badass scanner) then a quick wash of water with blending before the ink dries and sets. Voila! Abstract background! And I only have the 12 pencil set right now. My hubby has been informed that he's to buy me to FULL set (like $150ish) for my birthday his summer. Oh god, what'll I do then?????

Me too! I'm running low on dark browns. Sarah's hair kills me in every drawing I do -_- I kick myself everyday for deciding to layer each strand it's own individual colour of brown.
