Melinda - Done

I guess I rarely finish my pictures. I just abandon them. I'm done with this one - but one day when I'm really bored, I might go back and correct the crazy blues (allthough they are a little less crazy in RL...).

Melinda - WIP III

Sometimes the best way to spend Saturday night is by the easel, enjoying a cider or two or three and some music. Still working on Melinda. I'm struggling here.

Pen Drawing - MS «Midthordland»

 (Click image for larger pic)

 
I've been working on this drawing for the last few days. It's just a small drawing done with pen (Copic multiliner 0.03). The ship is MS «Midthordland», built in 1947.  My reference picture was a photo from the 50s. The problem with old photos is that they are really blurry  when you get up close, and it's difficult - impossible - to see all the details. I have to use a lot of  additional photos for cross-reference... and then I end up just guessing and making up the last details.

Sometimes I don't want to publish the details, because it looks really rough and inexact up close. But when you see it with this small coin, you might understand how tiny it really is. :-)

Melinda II - WIP II

I keep working on Melinda. Hahaha. Such a tragedy. She's very blue at the moment... I started out with a red background, and her dress was red and green. I had to layer tons of paint over to cover it. She looks so mean!
