Illustration Friday - Silence

Titling this one as

Space

which I think is very silent.

So this is my new page.

Front page:

 The large and medium stars, outlined in black and then again in a sparkle pen, filled in with a sparkle paint. The moon's shape is outlined in black and the word silence in black.

While I was taking pictures the sun decided to come out and let me show off some of the sparkle that the page actually has. 

And the back of the page.

The moon and the background around the stars are water colored in with Inktense Blocks.

Now, let's see how each page affects the other pages.

This is where the fun comes in...well, for me anyway!

Remember the first page?

This is how it looks layered over the second page.

The stars are put even further in the background...and yes, I purposely choose stars for my silent theme knowing that it would double nicely with the wish theme.

1.Blowing out a candle, making a birthday wish.

2.Wishing upon a star.

Now, I got an unexpected plus with the backside of the silent page, with the boys face showing through the moon. Always fun to get a bonus image.

I'm really enjoying playing around with my new journal from Clearprint :)

Illustration Friday - Wish

I have a new book to play with, thanks to Clearprint.

It's a vellum book, which is new medium for me to draw on, and a new concept for how to draw on.

So, I am using vellum as an artist instead of as a card maker.

Before I rarely used vellum as it was difficult to adhere down and curled a lot.

This is new for me, to paint on it. 

Or sketch.

Or draw.

And because it is transparent, you have 2 sides to work with.

The possibilities are mind blowing!

I am going to dedicate this book to Illustration Friday where I can practice drawing and working with both sides of the paper to complete a picture.

There is a learning curve here but I am excited!

This is my illustration for the week, called "Blow" to define "wish".

On the front side of the page I penned in the candle, the air coming from his mouth and the word Wish.

On the backside of the paper I drew the boys face.

Cool, huh?
