It's been a busy month for me working on various card ideas and I decided to bring out Opal and friends to use as drawing models.
Starting out, I used Opal to create a Mother's Day Card. From one pose, I took it further adding various items he/she could hold.
After I worked on these, I worked on these "posable" illustrations using another of my miniature bears.
These are using yet another miniature bear in my collection:
Another card created using a previous Opal drawing from a couple of years ago:
One of the reasons I love illustrating individual subjects versus full compositions is to give me a library of subjects to choose from in order to create cards for people.
I also enjoy creating the step or demo sheets and individual subjects make it easier for me to do so. Helps me to remember how I went about things and as a means to share with others who might want to use or learn the techniques I enjoy using.
