24 Portraits of odd-ball characters
I recently bought some stamps from Hobby Craft and found that one of them makes a neat portrait surround. There's nametag surrounds, but this was more fun.
After an initial test on a card I decided to go for a full session of drawing and create 24 portraits, with an attempt at creating an original character in each one.
Each portrait is around 45 x 50mm, so detail levels aren't amazing. Colours will be wonky due to my colour-blindness, although its not much of an issue since my art pens have the names of the colours on them. I just don't have the patience to figure out the colours for each character.
I'm not sure if the character in the bottom right portrait counts as "mature", but if anyone is offended please let me know and I'll mark this are mature.
Some post processing done with Corel PaintShop Pro 2022.
Final colours added using Alcohol Art Pens.
Colours really aren't my thing due to my colour-blindness, but I try to make them work.
Background colours added using Alcohol based art pens (not Copic, but from Stationery Island)
Heavy line inking completed with fine detail lines too. (0.3mm then a 0.05mm)
Initial inking lines using a 0.1mm pen, although my black pen ran out halfway and I switched to blue. Not a good idea, but I soldiered on.
Pencil work completed
Using one of the stamps from a pack I bought from Hobby Craft, I laid out the 6 by 4 grid of portraits.
