The Rose is Done

The Little Rose

Embellishments

I'm not done. This is reminding me of an old black and white horror movie I was fascinated with as a young girl. I hadn't thought of this movie until I did this piece. The movie was about a scientist who kept body parts alive. One of the characters was a female head he kept alive on a metal tray. Her head and neck were bandaged except for her pretty face. She could talk too. Anyway, I don't remember anything else. Does anyone remember the name of the movie with this description?  

Fright Night was my favorite show to watch, with the host Larry Vincent SEEEEEEEYmooooourrrr! 

Eureka! I've figured it out!

This piece has gone through different stages and mediums. It started off as a sketch in my sketchbook. I then scanned the image (no color). Then worked on the background in Illustrator. I then had to move into a different application because Illustrator wasn't giving me the results I wanted. So I went to Painter and I hit the jackpot of painting and drawing applications. This was fun and I've got to stop here because it's getting late. I will be continuing tomorrow. It's addicting! I know I won't be able to sleep and may even dream about what I can do next. Fun dreams for sure.

Experimenting with Technology

This is something I've been working on at night. I created a sketch in my sketchbook and decided to add color on the computer with Illustrator. I still like the original sketch from my sketchbook. The line quality is a lot more richer and it has a handmade quality that I just appreciate so much more. Nothing like handmade. Well, I'm still experimenting and trying to figure out how to accomplish more of the handmade look with the tools available on the computer. I don't really know if that makes any sense, since I am creating the images with my own hand, but I'm using a different tool. As I'm typing this, I just remembered that I have a pressure sensitive pen to accomplish what I was just trying to explain. Okay, I'm a little dim. I forgot I had it. Back to the drawing board.
