Mr Fredricksen Painting

Look what I did! I'm so happy with how this turned out. Using pen, pink, an eraser and gouache paints - here is my masterpiece! The colours have come out a lot more vibrant when I scanned it. I enjoyed painting this so much I'm going to do it more often! I'm not sure what I should do with these though...? Maybe I should frame it!

Hope you like it! It was a really fun process and I'm thinking of also sharing my drawing and painting process with you guys... what do you think?

What's in my Sketchbook - Mr Fredricksen

I've been having a bit of trouble with my art lately and decided to go back to basics with drawing and sketching more. I want to get back to doing more 'hands-on' illustrating.

Here are a couple of sketches in my sketchbook I did recently. They're inspired from the movie UP, and it's Mr Fredricksen as a little boy, and when he's older. I'm going to colour them too but I'm not sure what I should do with these... (what do you think?)... anyway, for now it's just for me to continue drawing and practicing.

I had a lot of fun going back to sketching and shading with a pencil. I want to make more of an effort sketching so I'll hopefully be posting more of 'What's in my Sketchbook' every week. Let me know what you guys think!
