Manga Sketches

Hi … I wanted to do something different for the weekend and thought a water painting would be nice. Then I remembered the site www.illustrationfriday.com where you have to do an illustration based on a weekly topics. I checked this week’s topic: clique. OK! I then took my watercolour pad, but thought I should do a sketch first. I am therefore taking my preferred sketchpad (the one I am making this blog for !!!) … And here I go, scribbling frenetically whatever was coming into my head … A hat .. A woman with a generous chest !!! A star on her chest … A cloak with a kind of crest … At that time, I feel that I will never do the watercolour as redrawing the whole thing would be too much (kinda lazy I now) … Anyway, I then decide to get a puma with her … That’s the start of my clique … Then a kid holding on to the puma (cute) … I am using pencil first to quickly outline what I want to draw then use my ink pen to make a stronger shaggy line … The paper wouldn’t hold with watercolour so I decide to use crayons instead … The result is here … It took me less than an hour … I kinda like it rough … Eh anyway … It is a sketch blog so it fits nicely !!!

(ps … I cleaned a bit the girls face with totoshop !!!)

I think I will do the water painting tomorrow !!!
