INK WORK

LITTLE WORKS

I'm unsure of whether or not I'm finished with this; simple ink portrait of Jack Frost.

Full pose of my friend's cat, she requested it for her birthday as he had died and she had had him for a long time, currently trying to decide on some form of background to make the light parts of his fur stand out better.

CHESHIRE CAT COMMISSION

Cheshire Cat Commission

 

A request was to paint a portrait of the Cheshire Cat from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland in this style.

I found some reference online.

 

Sketched it out and sent her a photo of it, too large to scan it was A1, and to see if she liked it so far. I had already told her before that it wouldn't come out exactly the same as my style is different, she said she knew and that she meant she wanted the colours, wispy parts, head same sort of thing.

So I got painting. Please ignore me in the pictures, my camera had stopped so I had to use my webcam on my laptop.

Finished and signed.

I looked around for a pose and did a quick sketch.

Quickly realised I needed reference for his hair so I found another shot.

 

First layer of paint for the skin and hoodie.

Since he has white hair I did the background carefully as it sticks out everywhere and I also started working out the small details; I fixed his jaw as before I made him too baby faced, teeth and eyebrows were tweaked as well.
