Pointillism Styraco




Click to enlarge...Excuse the poorly executed paneling of the item...It took about 10 scans and I just threw it together without trying too hard to make it blended and pretty...so obvious blotches are the effect...those aren't really there in really life...

So where I stand on this...I usually spend a couple of hours here and there throwing in the points...it takes a long time because I am trying to establish some sense of form after the first fill-in...(towards the rump you can tell the difference of the flat fill vs. the front where I've established some value range)...if I'm not careful I will just end up with flat expanses that don't flow properly because I was mind numbingly filling in space...


Once I get the dino finished and the other bird I will work at filling the background...I have it loosely sketched in and planned out but it definitely needs more development...hopefully this will balance out some of the areas that scream out (the solid black areas on the birds).

This is a wonderful drawing so far Brian, and it's great to see it in it's various stages. Very nicely composed as well! Looking forward to the seeing it in its final form.
