Sketchbook Project Pages 9-10
I’m working with pencil on stipple paper again, with the tiniest bit of liquid pencil and white acrylic. Just playing a little with scale and the concepts of beginning, staying and straying.

Wow…this is beautiful …
thanks much!
I like it. Now I’m going to have to go see if Photoshop, PaintShop Pro, or Photo-Paint will let me work with pencil on stipple paper with the tiniest bit of liquid pencil and white acrylic. (I simply liked the way that sounded.)
Painter may actually have the available paper texture:)
This is amazing, fascinated me. Thank you dear Elena, love, nia
Thank you, Nia:)
This is a beautiful sketch elena! That branch almost looks like I can touch it. Such a little story going on here with the little house and the growth coming off the branch, metamorphosis before my very eyes, I really love your work! It does make me want to get back to the process of drawing.
Thanks so very much Christina. You have a GREAT eye, sketching is probably a natural thing for you.
Thank you elena, it’s been a while, I do need to try, yours inspire me!
Wow! A new-found benefit of being at work: I just realized I can set your sketches as my desktop backgrounds! Nice big dual monitors!
I particularly love this one because it reminds me of Bryan Froud’s Faeries book from the 70’s…It was the first hard-cover book I bought, as a young teenager, and that was when I decided that illustration was what I wanted to do…
(That’s a compliment, by the way… I think you’re better than Froud, if I dare say so…) 😀
Thank you, Elena!
OMG,(forgive the OMG) BUT, I’m a huge fan of Froud. Just coming near that work is huge for me. Thanks ever so much, and enjoy the big pictures!
My pleasure! And a well-placed OMG is sometimes irreplaceable (sp?)… 😉
🙂
I wouldn’t presume to comment on the finer, technical aspects but I find fantasy and rhythm to be regular features of your style.
Bless you Louis! Lovely compliment!
Well said
you have an amazing imagination!!
Thanks Carol!
Ah yes….that is some very nice pencil work!!!
Thank you!
