so I currently have a work in progress portrait of christopher Walken. I'm from finished but here my preliminary work so you can get a glimpse into my process
i work mostly inks and watercolors sometimes mixed media. The thing about watercolor is that it doesn't allow much room for correction. You have to anticipate what your going to do or else pieces can easily look over worked.
In this project after i created the final sketch i transferred the line work with seral paper and then inked the face
after that i took all the dancing Walkens and foot prints cut them out from the tracing paper and put rubber cement on the back so that when i put in the first coat to get a general feel for my color pallet the silhouettes would remain when i took off the tracing paper with a rubber pickup.
hear are my early ideas for composition and layout. My goal was to show the lighter side of Walken. I had an initial idea were i put him in a funny outfit with his favorite foods (spaghetti and ice cream) as a wall paper design in the back but that idea didn't pan out. so the idea i went with was to take images of him dancing form fatboy slim's weapon of choice music video and use that as a design element in the back ground.
i really loved the final sketch for this project though my bulbasaur likes to stay at a cautious distance (ever since he saw sleepy hollow he still gets nightmares)
my color study... looks a little sunburnt hmmm.
