So today I wanted to try something new. I managed to get some Spectrum Noir Metallic Pencils at a bargain price, so I thought I would give them a go. To create my art I like to combine digital and hand drawn, I think the two skills can merge beautifully and create some incredible pieces. These are a couple I have created over the last few of days. I composed the image using Affinity designer and Adobe Photoshop, I then recreate this in paper form. This gives me an image to copy but then still allows for an additional artistic licence when drawing it onto the paper. I love the effect of the metallic on black, for me it evokes more of an emotion than when on white paper, I think it is the stark contrasts created.
I have also finished off my nephews birthday card and stamped his wrapping paper. I bought myself off the internet a massive roll of brown packing paper. I then can customise this for whoever the gift is for. Todays was rabbits, using Crafter's Companion Natures Garden Stamps and my Momento ink pads, ever so simple to do and more personal.
Hope everyone had a good Monday. Not sure yet what tomorrows plan is. I hope to work on some new card shapes and styles, so watch this space.
Bye for now :-)
