I wanted to work on the alternative version of our Moon. I spent a bit of time staring at this reference photo, wondering what elements make the Moon Mooney, staring at the various crater shapes. Damn, that porcelain surface is a masterpiece! So captivating no wonder I can never get enough staring at it through a telescope too.
I started with a sketch that included the main craters and then outlined the dark ones with a Pigma brush pen. I have to mention since the previous post my brush pen is pretty much ruined too. There are loose bristles and all! I will need to order a bunch of new ones.
I then proceed with adding the mane shading in the dark craters and of the whole surface using the Diamine jet black drawing ink. And the next step was to draw the white craters. Here comes the failed version. In it, I used the white Gelly Roll liner 08 only to draw them. The result did not pack the needed punch. It was patchy and chaotic. It is where I wondered about what if I used acrylic white color as a base and added the Gelly Roll on top? I redid everything up until the white craters and did just that. It worked! They even have a bit of relief!
Finally, I scattered some smaller craters all over the surface and did a bit of additional shading pattern in the darker areas using Pigma Micron fine line 03.
Song of the day: The Midnight - Neon Medusa
Looking good m
Thank you Kryp! Moon is such a fun thing to work on. I have incorporated it in now 4 artworks, one of them was a sculpture :D Moaaar Mooon!
A great kudos to you for your great effort. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day.
Blood, sweat and tears every day, all day! ^^
That's life, everyday we have to be ready to give our very best. May you always be on top. Stay safe and have a nice day
Very well detailed, nice job!
Thank you! I love, love poking around on the paper at the tiniest details for hours. It has been tougher for me now that I don't have as much time and have to get it done within the day. Normally I focus on each art work minimum 2 days xD
It is hard to finish in a day, nonetheless, I still think what can acheived is amazing! (I really like the white effect on the crater's ripples, it looks like the real thing)
Space theme! Nice
I share your feelings of being tired and slower. I think it's the weather or season change for me. It's harder to get out of bed in the morning.
Yep, same here. Especially since this old house turns into a walk in freezer during autumn and winter times. Usually in mornings the fire in the furnace has died and it is so uncomfortable for hours until it heats up again xD
Our house is similar. Very cold. In fact it's warmer outside right now than indoors lol
