a little form

Started working up some shading on Snow White today. I need to get this and the dress roughed in before I start drawing more of the foreground elements.

adding some detail

I've been adding some extra details today, lots of stars and leaves roughed in, as well as some more swirling lines. So far, so good :-) lots more to add though...

todays work

I've built a clay shim and applied the first area of plaster. I've used a rather old packet of plaster so I'm hoping it'll be okay and set, if not I'll need to do it again next week...have also been working on Snow White, I've finished blocking in the main shapes, so the next task will be starting on the patterned sections. I've been working in a slightly different way on this picture, using charcoal to draw the lines I want and then sealing the correct marks with the acrylic, washing off the rest of the charcoal and then drawing the next layer. It's a very effective way of building up the design, Definately something I'll continue doing.

blocking in...

I've started working on the main shapes today, building up the curves and thinking about exactly how I'm going to try and pull things together...
