It's November already and this month our theme is illustrated typography, which is exactly what it sounds like.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Create some artsy type!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now I'm not an expert on typography or type design so I'll leave you with a few inspirational artists:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="http://teaganwhite.com/typography.html" target="_blank">Teagan White</a> is an illustrator and designer who's doing amazing nature inspired drawings.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="http://thereis.co.uk/" target="_blank">Sean Freeman</a> is simply making some crazy creative typography!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Personally, I have few knowledge about typography (as I already mentioned), but love illustrating letters.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here a some examples of work I've previously done:</div>

At the moment I'm trying to wrap up my magical creature ABC aka weekly drawing project and since my goal is to turn the whole thing into a book I've been thinking about what would work best for the cover. With the letters ABC being a quite prominent part of the title I decided to illustrate them similar to the magical creatures themselves.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You go outside, find things, take them home and make pictures with them. Whether you take that literally and create collages or just get inspired and find a different way to incorporate your findings in your work is up to you.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Personally, I love to take a break from all the drawing and painting and just do something different instead that doesn't require me to worry about concepts and ideas and wether I get that one brush stroke right or not. While I frowned quite a bit on collages when I was younger (like three years ago), I like to be able to take things that are already pretty to begin with and 'just' find a way to bring them into a pattern or composition I find aesthetically pleasing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Somehow it's satisfying in a very meditative kind of way (It's probably similar to people who like tidying their rooms/workspaces to clear their minds. Which I'm starting to believe, I'm quite partial to, too. 15 year old me would have laughed.) and makes it possible to simply focus on how the different objects play off each other, achieving a good balance or interesting compositions. Without the pressure of getting the technical part right, I end up taking a closer look at forms and weights and all that basic stuff, I sometimes brush over in favour of a fancy idea or need for detail. I like to believe it's good practice once in a while (Trying to find a reasonable excuse for spending hours sitting on the floor and pushing dead leaves over a piece of paper.), so this will be my approach to this month's challenge.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Also, seriously take a look at <a href="http://brackish-waters.tumblr.com/private/125584105374/tumblr_nk7gmtIqw91rbf5cr" target="_blank">these</a>, in case you don't know them yet, because they are awesome and make you want to spend your whole life arranging stuff.<br />
<div>
Which is is maybe a crude way to summarize image making, but whatever.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Okay, enough of this, challenge: start!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First of all, there's the 'going outside' thing. I'm somewhat of a hermit type, hiding away in my room, while occasionally glancing suspiciously out of the windows. There's life out there? Sounds fake.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
(Also, hanging out on Tumblr way too much.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyways, I've decided to pick up my <a href="http://echoesandwings.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">camera</a> this year again, which led to the habit of regularly going for extended walks and staring at that one tree for hours to finally get the freaking angle right. (yes, occasionally also hiding behind trees because who are all these potentially dangerous bipeds hovering all over the place?). It additionally means I'm being outside and keeping my eyes open. Which helps with seeing, obviously, but can lead to a new bird skull or pretty snail shell for your collection, too. Or pretty feathers, or leaves or twigs or anything, really. By now I'm a regular magpie. I see something shiny or dead on the path, stop dead in my tracks, pick it up and then either pocket it greedily or realize it's actually pretty disgusting and try to casually lose it again (ah no, I have not wanted this. I never touched this. You didn't see anything.).<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Well then, I'm on my way finding pretty stuff now.</div>
<div>
Pretty stuff and the occasional 6- or 8-legged pet.</div>
<div>

This time around we've been mostly inspired by <a href="http://nokkasili.tumblr.com/page/5" target="_blank">Nokkasili</a>s work with ink drawings combined with (watercolour) textures.<br />
The contrast between clean lines and textures, whether used sparsely as highlights or covering larger spaces is super interesting and has of course lots of potential for variation, also thanks to the possibilities of digital textures. There's no need to stick to ink and watercolour, here. Create lines with pencil or brush or pen or your tongue and use whatever textures you find suitable!<br />
<br />

Maybe it has to do with having re-read His dark Materials by Philip Pullman some time ago, but lately my mind has been kind of obsessed with stripping away reality or opening up the sky or whatever (also sewing together sky and earth and playing the harp on invisible sky strings. I have no idea. Brain does, what brain does.)<br />
I also spent June practicing drawing hands, so it seemed fitting to combine those two things.<br />
Most of my creative process might have involved wildly gesturing and positioning my hands.<br />

It's a great time to go digital now. As you can see I completely ignored tonal values and colours when I used the watercolours, so that has to be done now. A time of great fun and creating masks follows. (Basically I use different layers of Hue/Saturation with masks to play around until I find a colour combination I like. Oh, and colour balance and selective colour and whatever Photoshop can offer me.)<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Alright, the last time I actually used chalk pastels for drawing was about two years ago for my life drawing class. It wasn't 'my thing' to say the least.</div>
<div>
Then I stumbled upon <a href="http://www.ashlylovett.com/" target="_blank">Ashly Lovett</a>'s amazing children's book illustrations some time last year and thought that maybe I should give that old and dusty box of pastel chalks rotting on my shelf another try. That never happened, though 'pastels' made it on the list for future Marf Challenges and now it turns out the future is here and you'll have to stick with me for another round of 'I don't really know what I'm doing here, but I'll figure something out'.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<br />
First things first, I need a concept. Since I don't feel especially proficient with chalk pastels, I decide to go for something relatively simple. My ancient pastels are also chalk sticks as opposed to pastel pencils, so I don't want to go for too many details either (I'm not working on a large format).<br />
Taking all self set limitations into consideration some of my older pictures come to my mind.<br />
<br />

As you can see my initial thought was to go for a face peeking out of the surface of an overgrown lake (maybe a bit predatory?), which struck me as too boring, though. Alright, I wanted nothing complicated, but I was letting myself off the hook too easily here.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A change in perspective, then. I actually do a lot of planning while scribbling. At first I placed the figure in the centre of the composition because it seemed only natural to me before deciding to shove her into the left hand corner because 'Why not?'. (No, actually to work against my preprogrammed composition patterns. I really like going for very central compositions and decided consciously against it, which brought an ACEO card I had created for Maren's and mine advent calendar project 2 (?) years ago to mind.)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To me atmosphere is an essential part of planning an image. I need to know how it is supposed to feel. For this one I wanted an underwater image that felt 'safe'. No terror of drowning or anything, more tranquility, peace, and … safety. That was basically my leitmotif.</div>

<br /><br /><br /><br />So, as I said before, I hadn't touched chalk pastels for some time (Uhm, years.) and that was before I new anything about anything and even less about painting or drawing or chalk pastels. I mostly remember smudging a lot. Some years later I decided against that and went for toned paper and, well, drawing. What really irritated me at first was that the colours at hand were all very saturated. If you know my work, you'll know I'm a friend of the monochromatic ('I'll learn that thing with the colours eventually' is right up there with 'Some day I will learn how to actually paint'), so being faced with … colors turned out a bit intimidating. But, what the heck, what's the worst that can happen?</div>
<div>
Especially when it's about midnight, which is in my experience a great time for questionable decision. such as using purple for an underpainting. Or something.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br /><br />At this point I really liked the textures a markings that had developed and the light blue had turned out to be a great decision (my opinion). At this point I was even thinking of using pastel chalks more in the future. Maybe they go well with my acrylics/charcoal drawings? Something else to try out? </div>
<div>
So I was over the 'ugly stage' of the drawing and started to get excited again.</div>

Until I scanned the whole thing. Nothing more frustrating than scanning something only to wonder what you actually wasted those last few hours of your life on? (Like mirroring your image and realizing everything is just wrong. And then you can't unsee it. At least on screen. The original still looks fine. Or not. Depends.)</div>

My good old pal Photoshop comes to rescue! Remember I sad atmosphere was important to me? Well, yeah, it's actually more important to me than colour schemes. I generally decide on one beforehand (at least when I plan on using colours otherwise tonal values are enough for me), but the great thing about personal artworks is that I don't have to stick to them when a different colour palette feels more appropriate. (Uhm, nice surprises …)</div>
<div>
This one looks a lot warmer now, less like an underwater scene actually, more dreaming that drowning in a way. I also really like the purple shadows now. </div>

<br /></div>
Our official challenge title ended up being 'Experiments with scratching and printing' because Maren and me couldn't settle on a precise technique we wanted to try out. Originally we stumbled upon <a href="http://santiagocaruso.tumblr.com/tagged/ink-and-scratch" target="_blank">Santiago Caruso</a>'s ink&scratch work, then came across <a href="http://www.alisoneldred.com/imageJimKay-Illustration-0-1327.html" target="_blank">Jim Kay</a>'s amazing work for Patrick Ness' book A Monster Calls and finally, we never really used classic <a href="http://www.scratchboard.org/" target="_blank">scratchboard</a>s.<br />
Also, have you seen these <a href="https://www.behance.net/gallery/21192725/Folio-Society-Ghost-Stories" target="_blank">cardboard etchings</a>?<br />
<br />
Basically this challenge is about getting mad with everything you can print and scratch upon. Whether you want to mess around with <a href="http://www.monoprints.com/about_monoprints.php" target="_blank">mono prints</a> on cardboard just to scratch some crude marks in the thing or you'd rather go for that old scratchboard you once bought and never got around to use and then decide to cut it into a thousand pieces and make a creative mess of it in Photoshop, doesn't matter. Just try out something new and see what happens.<br />
(Bonus points if you can get your cat to contribute some scratches …)<br />
<br />
I'll keep you updated on the process, which will probably be more interesting than the final artwork.<br />
<br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
So first off, I didn't own scratchboards or any tools especially meant for that purpose and I was pretty reluctant to go on a shopping spree for 'this one challenge', so I had to take a look at what I already had and how to make due with it.<br />
So my first thought was, that if I put a thick layer of gesso on cardboard and added either a layer of acrylics or ink, I should be able to work with that, right? Also, I could make scratching marks with anything sharp?<br />
<br />

Right. Since this was supposed to be nothing more than a small test, I decided to scratch some fossil vignettes (kind of suits the technique), which worked rather well, although I had to take several breaks to keep my hand from complaining.<br />
(For this use I preferred working with the acrylics layer, although ink works, too. Just maybe not that well … with a needle taped to an especially ugly pencil.)<br />
<br />
With eight or so small drawing finished I decided to create some patterns in Photoshop. As you can see they're not actually seamlessly tileable. When I have minute or two I might take a look at how you actually do that …<br />
Otherwise I'm super happy how they turned out, although it would have been faster and easier to achieve the same look by scratching acrylics of a plastic surface. (Like <a href="http://checanty.blogspot.de/2013/04/paradies.html" target="_blank">this</a>)<br />

So far so good. Next up would be a 'proper' illustration, or so I thought. The question wa ssimply, what I should do. Not too detailed because that would take ages and leaving enough room for textures and improvisation so I can experiment a bit without worrying too much about messing everything up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My first idea was to go for an illustration loosely based on the image of having an albatross hanging from your neck. Yeah. It would have a part that involved monotype and a part that involved scratiching and it would all work out very neatly. I'm not quite sure anymore why it didn't, but you can see some very rough thumbnail sketches:</div>

Also some sketches for the concept I ended up going with instead and something completely unrelated.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So the albatross idea stalled and somehow I remembered the W.B. Yeats poem '<a href="http://www.poetry-archive.com/y/the_cat_and_the_moon.html" target="_blank">The Cat and the Moon</a>'. Or better, I didn't really remember the poem as a whole, but the fact that it was somehow about how a cat's eyes change the same way as the moon changes form. Based on that I began my first scribbles.</div>

Somehow I was mostly focused on the cats silhouette while being pretty sure about the general concept of making her eyes a crescent and a full moon. I toyed with including lunar phases, but it seemed silly, since it felt like stating the obvious (As in 'but it's already in the poem'.).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Instead I started to think more about tonal values an realized I could use them to make the cat silhouette either pop out or vanish by changing the values of the background. (I often make a whole lot of thumbnail sketches and end up using the first one anyway, so it was nice to see some real process!)</div>

My sketch in format and with values added. I was really excited at this point with high hopes for the finished illustration. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Unfortunately I didn't really know what I was doing during the process, so it was more a guessing and struggling and I might just do the picture again, just in a way I'm more comfortable with. (why did I even do these test fossil vignettes? They're nice, but didn't really help my with this one.)</div>

The plan: applying a layer of dark acrylics I would take of again with a wire brush (I new that worked because I had done that before with another illustration), so I'd get a neutral grey texture for the cloud area. Then I'd monotype the sky and cat silhouette on the whole thing because there's the word 'printing' in the challenge name.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, my first mistake was adding graphite dust to the acrylics because I thought it might add some metallic shine to the colour. Well, I wasn't really wrong with that …</div>

Incidentally I also didn't have my steel wire brush at home and the brass one was of course too soft, so look at this shiny polished graphite surface.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Right, not as planned, but nevermind. New Plan: add gesso with a spatula and make sure you get texture and the tonal value you need. Actually, I thought, having the graphite shine through at some places will probably look really neat!</div>

The next step was adding the dark flats, so I looked for a glass slide I had lying around somewhere and sketched the rough form of the cat on one side so I could apply acrylics on the other. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I then placed it on my textured cardboard thingy and stepped on it to apply pressure. I don't know what you're thinking of when you read 'mono type', but that's my version. (It's not super effective, but I get some nice textures, okay?)</div>

And the final piece. Lots of layers, lots of colour corrections and colour schemes and I'm not completely unhappy, yet I can't stop thinking it might have turned out much better if I had chosen a differnt way of working ('wasted potential') comes to mind. WELL. I might really just do this all over because I seriously like the idea. And I did learn quite a bit about the material I'm working with. Which is the important bit for our challenges. </div>

Strictly speaking not part of the challenge anymore, but I really decided to do this illustration again from scratch. Which was totally worth it.<br />

Maybe that's just us and you're all wondering what the heck this is even about, but then you might have trouble drawing creepy little girls (I can't quite imagine, though)?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Anyways we thought this was a fun idea for a challenge:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">a) Creat</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">e an illustration/character design of a little girl that is NOT creepy.<br /><br />b) Create an illustration/character design of a creepy little girl<br /><br />Alternatively an illustration including both characters is fine, too.</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">----</span><br />

<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">First things first: rough sketches of the characters. I'm not sure whether or not there will be backgrounds or what the setting might be, I just want to lay down a general direction (when creating dolls, a lot happens during the creative process, especially when I don't really have any restrictions (such as planned compositions, illustrations. Then I'll have to work with more precise layouts.)</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">and can rely on intuition and react to the material.) and then see how it goes.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">A reason why I believe little girls often end up creepy is, that they are not shown as what they are (human beings), but as dressed up little dolls, which are the stuff of nightmares.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">So for my 'not very creepy' girl I imagine her as the outgoing, carefree little sister of Colin (an older doll of mine. His part-time occupation is snail hunting.), who will climb on roofs and trees and terrorize the whole neighbourhood. (If you believe you know how she lost that tooth, think twice.)</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">For the creepy girl on the other hand I decide to go for a ghostly, impish creature that is, admittedly, not so much a human being.</span></span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>

Next step. I'm going to focus on the decisions I made concerning the 'look' of the characters instead of explaining the technique in detail (I've written about that before and experimenting with materials is half the fun, so I'm not going to take that away from you :)).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first thing I work on, are their faces and hands because they need longest to dry and do already tell us a lot about the girls' personalities.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For my faerie girl I'm going for a small pointy nose (delicate features matching her hair and dress), which turnes slightly upwards in a mischievous way. She'll get a broad grin so I have to keep that in mind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Notice that I decided to show her hands after all. Come on, those wirey fingers (also very thin, spidery) are a lot more creepy than not knowing what she's holding behind her back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At the same time I realize that she doesn't really need any legs. Being a spirit and all, where's the need?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Looking through some leftovers from previous projects (sometimes things don't work out, but that doesn't mean you have to throw everything away. I had this street lantern lying around since the beginning of last year. Why not have her flying like a moth to the light? Why not use a real light for the lantern? Sometimes things just fall in place.) I start planning the final illustration now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Gwendoline (which is her name now), being not creepy at all, gets a round, friedly, open face (She might be the really devillish one here, but you wouldn't know). Her mouth will be open and take up more space than I'm used to (Mouths are the facial parts I tend to just leave out with my dolls), so I'll have to make sure that will work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Her hands are large and clumsy looking, nothing compared to the faerie's metal claws and I decide to go for rubber boots, not so useful for climbing, but giving her the 'will jump through puddles' look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Her clothes are roughly hand sewn, I deliberately aim for imperfection here and want the yarn to be very much visible. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To add detail and character I give her a necklace with dangling, er, charms. Since I have clockwork parts at hand, they fit nicely. The wooden bead is also helping with the family resemblance. (That's siblings for you … matching clothes and wooden beads, okay.). </div>

So, Gwendoline's all nicely painted, but I have seriously no idea how to best take her picture. I don't have my lighting equipment (not as professional as it sounds) at hand and have to make do with what I have. I end up shooting with daylight, a desk lamp and a steady hand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You may or may not recognize the location, which is my 'default' environment, serving me we'll, whenever I don't have a background prepared and want to see how photogenic my creations are.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In this case I'm also foreced to tackle one big problem I like to forget: My dolls can't stand. They originally weren't meant to be able to, but since I'm planning to to use them for stop motion animation, I have to find away to solve that problem.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you can see I attached strings to Gwendoline, which were being held up by, er, whatever was around (The whole construction was quite unstable. On the bright side I have a good idea no, how to build the 'real thing' that will hopefully help to to make my dolls walk and not so much talk.). </div>

At the same time, the faerie is still waiting for her background. Some madness possessed me to not only make the whole thing rather colourful, but to include a bit of LED trickery (Which led to more nervewrecking constructions. Unfortunately I have to photos to document the happening.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's a picture of the background in progress, though. I probably spent more time observing the textures the coloures created than actually doing anything, so well ... </div>

Get experimental and try to include different papers, feathers, flowers or whatever small or big?) objects you find suitable for your illustration.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit;">It may get messy ...</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #999999; line-height: 18px;">Some inspiration:</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit;">So there are heaps of possibilities …</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But first of all there's some collecting to do. See, what you could work with, what you'd like to add to your picture.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit;">Here's some of the stuff I already have at hand. There's also some technical junk somewhere, old wallpaper, newspaper, stamps … so on.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: inherit;">But it's not enough :D Half of the fun comes with collecting and finding cool things, so after I've finished today's inktober drawing I'll go outside, visit a nearby park and see what nature has in store for me. It's Autumn, so there should be plenty.</span><br />

Since this months illustrations are mostly influenced by the material at hand, I tried to work rather intuitive, decided which objects I wanted to use and what kind of image would work for it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not much planning involved. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here some short visual notes of the three (Not nessecarily for this challenge. I might finish two of them.) illustrations I'd like to create.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Since I'm already looking for a way to translate my doll-work to a more two-dimensional way of working, this seemed to be a perfect chance to experiment a bit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you can see I put some modelling clay on the paper to have some 3dimensional shapes. Also some elements reach ot of the image, giving the whole thing more depth. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The dress consists of tissue paper soaked with thinned wood glue to give it form.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Newspaper and book papes to give the background more structure.</div>

If this was one of my dolls I'd give the whole object a dark brown undercoat (I prefer priming everything dark instead of white because it turned out to work better with my usual colour schemes. If you want super bright colours it would probably not be the best choice.), but in this case I still want the writing to shine through and decide that the dress doesn't need one either.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I nevertheless prime the skin areas to come as close as possible to the way I colour my dolls.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Adding in colour, trying to work out the textures of the dress.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Very simple: Washes of a darker colour (I tend to use sepia ink because I'm lazy) that will fill in all the grooves and scratches, letting everything dry and use a lighter colour applied with a very dry brush (This will be the end of the brush. Never ever use an expensive one.) on all the higher areas (Dry brushing. I feel like it's actually pretty basic stuff so I don't feel like elaborating on this. I will though, if there's interest).</div>

And the finished version … as you can see I changed her face quite a bit (repainted about 4 times. It's a bit difficult to keep it rough and simple and not starting to fully render everything) to achieve the more crooked look of my dolls. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The yarn is painted red with acrylics to stabilize it (alternatively to wood glue) (and give it the right colour obviously) and then sewn into the 'fabric'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At the end I framed her and gave the frame a sepia ink wash for more texture. (Also a bit dilluted sepia ink on the background. For texture. Just be careful, it lightens when drying but you don't want to ruin things …)</div>
