@Brisby
Over three years ago I met a young lady on the Blockchain. She was so full of life and laughter that you just wanted to spend time with her. Possibly, but not certainly, to interact with her. You just wanted to watch the fun that followed her where ever she went on the blockchain.
She is open and loving. Kind to a fault. If you are lucky enough for her to call you a friend she will drop everything to be there for you should you need it.
Trying out my new Castle Art Watercolor Pencils.
Back in October when I first started trying to learn to draw I had received some new alcohol makers. I wanted to draw something with them. While DM'ing back and forth with Brisby we made up a dress.
A fantasy dress for her.
It had to be raised in the front so she could still skip and run in the dress without falling or tripping.
The watercolor pencils worked great making flowers but what about something harder?
The sleeves were long and flowy. The kind where if you had to do anything they would get in the way. The kind that looks cool too!
If you are going to make a fantasy dress it needs unrealistic sleeves. I am very sure this is written down in the book that holds all the directions on how to make a fantasy dress.
I did the lightest sketch in a light grey watercolor pencil.
The outside color of the dress was green, of course. If you are going to be an Elf, Pixie, or Fairy you need to fit into your surrounding so you are only seen when you want to be.
But! What about Color!! We LOVE Color!!
I was loving how the drawing was turning out but the colors were very light.
The color was on the inside. This makes an even better camouflage dress.
If someone comes along while you are in a meadow of flowers, just thinking about life, people will think you are just another flower in the patch of many.
Using my Schpirerr Farben watercolor set I put light washes of color over the pencil. I loved how it brightened up the whole painting!
Over the course of the three days I worked on this painting, I realized how perfectly this embodied Brisby.
On the outside, she is a wonderful Mom to her two daughters. She works full time, takes care of her house, and cooks/bakes like.....
She should own her own bakery. She is an extremely talented Baker. Period!
If you get to know her long enough you realize on the inside she is a Cosplayer, and all that goes along with that, at heart.
The final piece of art.
I loved how it turned out.
I really need to figure out how to get the sparkles to show up.
I hope we all find our inner CosPlayer this year! If the world is going to keep giving us Poop......
Say "F" it! and learn to shout your story for everyone to hear. We all found out how quickly the world can change. Do not let another day go by where you hide from the world.
We need everyone out and spreading the good that happens and helping those who need a smile to make it through another hour.
Help someone smile today. It can not hurt you.
