Six Wee Wing Things Pages 1 and 2

 

 

I'm working on Karen Campbell's book "Wee Wing Things," from the "Whimsical Watercolor and How to Draw Series. These winged characters are a delightful challenge. There are 18 lessons in this book and I plan to do them all. As I finish the pages, I'll show them two pages at a time.

Here are the first six characters on two sheets of Fabriano 140 lb. hot press watercolor paper. I drew each one with a Graphgear 1000 Pentel Pencil, following Karen Campbell's direction. They are painted with Jane Davenport Watercolors and are shaded with a Blackwing Pencil and a paper blending stump. The black outline and details were done with Micron Pens and the highlights were done with a Gelly Roll Pen. 

I followed Karen's step by step details for each image. Page 1 characters are Howdy Hal, Baby Beaky and Buzzy Betty.  Page 2 characters are Oh Hey, Blue Jay, Loopy Larry and Sweet Baby Screech.

They were a delight to work on. I'm looking forward to working on the next six!
