Preliminary Sketch

Blog: #2 of 4 by Ann Gates Fiser

Previous | Next

November 19th, 2008 - 02:19 AM

I started preliminary sketches for my new painting. As I said in my first blog entry I found a picture of a Santa asleep with a baby on his chest. I'm turning him into a wizard and her into a fairy.

I started from the Santa photo but as you can see I added information that wasn't there- like legs for Santa/Wizard, the rest of the couch, the gnome reading, and the dragon.

Now after having looked at it I'm going to make the dragon larger. I think it will make a better composition and create more depth. I haven't drawn the background yet, so I plan to put a window and book case complete with wizardly oddities. I was having a little trouble drawing the gnome so I drew him larger on another piece of paper and then I Photoshopped him into the sketch.

So it's back to the drawing board to make further sketches.
