Let's say straight off that this skribble is MASSIVELY influenced by Luis Royo, my hero, muse and personal artistic god (in an atheistic kinda way!? LOL). The pic is not a copy of a Royo or any part of........ but there are certain elements which fans of The Master will immediately recognise. It has always been my wish to emulate my hero, and I think I am coming close to realising that wish. In a slight variation from recent experiments, this pic was finished as far as graphite was concerned then VERY thin (but wet) washes of watercolour painted over the drawing. No further pencil work took place after this. Anyways, that's how this image came about. Started Thursday, 8 June 2006 and finished nine days later, after about 35 hours of pencil on paper (and about 45 minutes of splosh from the watercolour brush!) I've uploaded a close-up of the girls face and a pic showing the tattoo developement coz I think it may interest some peeps and the girlies face detail pic is worth seeing, she is stunnin ;^) If anybody is interested enough to want to know wot the "GRaff" is all about in the title, it's the dragon's name you know LOL ......George Raff LOL again!! OK click here and you'll see what I mean........... |
