Phantasma: New Work in Progress
🕑 Added 2020-01-28 13:04:08 +0000 UTCI‘m back! I can’t tell you how great it is to actually be drawing again. The upside of taking a bit of a break is that I now have a huge backlog of ideas I want to work through, especially for my project Phantasma. I really miss it, so this year I want to make some progress!
I think the main thing that’s been holding me back is that I thought I‘d have to write the complete story first before I could continue painting. But I just prefer to explore it visually instead. Aaaand another thing is that I wasn’t quite ready yet to tackle the complex backgrounds I had in mind. But now I‘ve had a lot more practice and I feel confident enough.
Here’s a little closeup of the drawing so far:

I draw everything in Photoshop, from start to finish. I find it easier to make adjustments and finalise the sketch when I can transform, cut, paste and warp my lines. :)

Do you start works like this with pencil on paper or stylus on tablet? As a beginner in digital media, I think I understand the basics of the tablet work better than I understand how the idea gets from your imagination to the fascinating drawing we see here. Thanks.

Thank you so much!! 💛

This truly is the stuffI enjoy the most because all the pictures together tell a bigger story than a one off picture can. And it’s already so beautiful!!! Love your one-offs, too, of course. And the tarot cards. And the shirts!! 😊
