This is a quote by J. K. Rowling that I stumbled upon and thought that it was perfect for my journal page:
"We do not need magic to change the world.
We carry the power we need inside ourselves already.
We have the power to imagine better."
J.K. Rowling

I hadn't planned for it to be about magic. She was going to be a modern day "Alice In Wonderland" but it didn't work out. When I put the rabbit in her hand...she looked more like a magician than Alice. Oh well, sometimes those things happen and you just have to go with the flow!
I drew the top hat as I couldn't find one without going through the trouble of scanning, resizing, etc. It was just easier to draw one from scratch. The chalkboard effect was a pleasant surprise…I drew the radiating lines with white Prismacolor pencil and then roughed in the lettering with a white charcoal pencil. I like the look so much that I quickly grabbed the Krylon Fixatif and gave it a spray. If I had gone over the charcoal lettering with white paint pen in my usual style…it would have competed with the white scrollwork and the white stripes in her shirt. I hope that you like her!
Until next time….
Hugs,
Ginny

Ithink it great and enjoyed your process
ReplyDeleteThank you Monica. I hope that my art inspires.
DeleteStunning! And the best part for me...a Teesha Moore wannabee, is having the 'before and after' images documented. Thanks so much for always demonstrating your process--it's very educational and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michelle! I am glad to know that the" before and afters" help. Several artists that I follow use this process and it has been very helpful to me. Glad that I can "pay it forward."
