Well recently I decided to try coloring up an image using my new Spectrum Noir(SN) pencils. Well, I have to say that I had to really work with this new medium. I have used other pencils in the past, namely Prismacolor, but I have just gotten into using my SN markers and even took a basic class on the pencils' use with the markers to cause depth. So I thought okay, let's do this ....lets do a complete image with the pencils. Hmm, all I can say is that I notice I need more work, which is good. Keeping in mind I am my own worse critic. Hahaha. I can say the colors are very vibrant and the pencils are very creamy. Surprisingly so. There are no names on the pencils only numbers. The nice thing is that they are laid you in light,medium, and dark groupings of each color. That is helpful, but did not last long with me once the creative process started. Hehehe.
I did achieve something very new , however. I did some nice shading to cause the image to look like the clothing had folds. It had a minimal amount, but where I achieved the best illusion of that was in hte bodice of the dress. It was complete flat before I did something like that. I really liked that. Anyway, here she is. This image is part of a set from 3 Birds. I got it in one of my recently hauls from HSN. Glad I am on autoship. Their new stamp like is awesome.
