Description I dont have much to say about this one. I like drawing Ivy and was happy to do another one for a sweet gal. The little whippy vine things at the bottom were improvised late in the process. I'm not sure if it works or not, but I dont hate it.

Prismacolor cool and warm greys, white watercolor on vellum bristol board

how do get your colors so smooth?

ChristopherStevens In reply to giberwitz [2012-02-18 15:46:43 +0000 UTC]

I just carefully choose the shades and saturate the areas plenty. The markers take care of the rest.

I love how the swirl shapes reappear throughout the piece...over all design, the leaves, her hair, the whips at the bottom (which do work great!). Really nice.

Awesome stuff! You have a flair for creating great motion in your pieces. What size do you work at for these pieces? You pack in the details so well, especially the textures on the bark.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ChristopherStevens In reply to rostridge [2012-01-31 21:49:59 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I do all these at 11 by 17. That's a pretty good size to get all the detail you need, I'd actually prefer to go smaller. Markers a pain at bigger sizes, but collectors like the bigger sizes.

Awesome ivy motives here and there- on the wrists and breasts in particular, aslo love how your colours changes from dark to light where ornaments overlap, your work looks like a glass-staining sometimes
