Did the drawing above after seeing this shadow:
in the stairway shadows when I went downstairs this morning:
Playing around with colors and mixed media as I prep for a book illustration project. Not having an Undo option is scary, but sometimes I really like the "accidents" that sometimes happen.
Title of this doodle: "Monster selfie." Just spent several hours playing around with custom brushes: created some by splattering/mixing watercolor on paper, scanning, tweaking the brush in Photoshop. Creating others by scanning a photo of a texture. HAD SO MUCH FUN. Anyway I added a boat floating high above and a monster just before posting this doodle, but the background textures are what I was focusing on this aft, in addition to Sea-Monkey and Bob sketches (and no, the monster is not part of the Sea-Monkey book :-)).
