Artist's Comments

Something I did recently. . . The hands with the purple cup are mine, hand with the green cup is a friend's, and the bit of hand to the right is imaginary :P

I took tons of pictures of hands holding teacups in different poses to get the reference I wanted... I'm very pleased with the rough/likeness of the hand with the green cup turned out though :D

Considering making a separate piece of just that hand since I'm so fond of it for some reason.

***sorry it's slightly blurry, it's rather big and I had to take a photo of it while it was hanging up on the wall in the art museum since I failed to get a picture of it prior...

Materials Used:
:bulletblue: Chalk Pastels (majority)
:bulletblue:Black & White Colored Pencils for hand detail

I hope you like it :heart:

A "new thing"? .... I don't know. . .
Lately I've been trying to practice a variety of styles and just do a few different things I haven't tried in a while so I can broaden my Portfolio :) I don't have much that I liked that looked somewhat realistic, so I thought I'd try it. I have been working with a similar tea-party/Alice in wonderland sort of theme though. Won't be that way for forever, there's a lot of other things I want to do, It's just a temporary phase I suppose more or less.

I'm glad you like the colors :)

I've been very busy working on this and other pieces of art for my portfolio and doing testing stuff for college and various other family related issues. . . Its been difficult =/ I'm hoping though within the next 2 weeks most of it will blow over, and I will have more free time again to attend to the 1,000+ deviations from people I watch and just the normal stuff lol. ^^;

How have you been? :)

How you do this textures?
:iconvampkitty9:
Well, I kind of wish I knew how I did it. . .
The paper I used had a little bit of a vertical line texture to it, so to eliminate it with the top hands (so they would look smoother) I worked on a cork-board surface so the texture wouldn't interfere so much. Then to do the hands with the green cup, I worked on a hard flat surface to add to the texture I wanted. Also, I used oil-based colored pencils for the hands, and that gave me more control with the texture as well, and I blended more to make a smoother texture.

For the table and cups I used chalk-pastel and just blended a lot, and for the table to get the slightly-blotchy effect, I used rough paper towel and blended in circles :)

Thank you :D

Yes, in the past it has discouraged me from doing larger pieces... I used to avoid it like the plague :P lol. Now I'm getting better though, Maybe not with huge sized pieces, but medium-large ones I'm starting to get more comfortable with :giggle:
