Wing Things Pages 5 and 6

 

These adorable characters are from Karen Campbell's book "Whimsical Watercolor and How to Draw Series Wee Wing Things." These are my fifth and sixth pages, I worked on in Karen's book. They are the last ones. I'm done, I did all 18 of these characters!

The images were drawn on Fabriano hot press watercolor paper, using a Graphgear 1000 Pentel Pencil. Shadow was added with a Blackwing-Matte Pencil and a blending Stump. I painted them with Jane Davenport watercolors. I used Micron pens for outlines and some of the details. Some touches of color was done using Master's Touch Fineliner Markers. Highlights were done using a Gelly Roll Pen.

I followed Karen's detailed directions for each image. The characters names on page 5 are: Bewildered Beetle Bob, Thee Wee Flea and Sweet Seagull Sally. The ones on page 6 are: Dedicated Dennis! Croonin Clyde! and Crickie Candlewickie!

It was a fun book of characters to work on. I can't wait to see the next book Karen Campbell puts out....drawing storefronts!
