I love the hellmouth paintings that usually adorn a lot of the older books of the middle ages. The background works perfectly. I enjoy seeing the process as well. I look forward to seeing more!Aeronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743156867815095055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37678750.post-49334825595608382262011-09-16T14:52:40.784-07:002011-09-16T14:52:40.784-07:00I love that you posted it in stages.

I often use that way too for my drawing... It's the craftmen working way. So it's not as hard as it seems to be. At most it could be boring! Here you can work the background again with dark & light, then with yellow dots on relief, white one on others etc...<br /><br />I'm actually doing another one with a real nut background, as far as I spent time & attention on it... ;)alkbazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08543996181268095261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37678750.post-30178350071704751762011-09-04T15:29:16.891-07:002011-09-04T15:29:16.891-07:00Yes Romuald, you're on a roll there.

It gives the picture some air to breath. With bold outlines, it would become "boxed-in", I'm affraid. <br />The b/w original is indeed in scraperboard.Marcel Ruijtershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364661262187868819noreply@blogger.com
