Bonus Content!
Added 2019-05-10 14:00:15 +0000 UTCHey guys! I've got a drawing to share with you today!
We are just $5 a month away from achieving the Bonus Content goal! (...And as I mentioned earlier, I hope I'm not jinxing myself by already starting on content for the month.)
For this month I will be sharing a bonus image of an Uruk-Hai warrior painted traditionally in Acryla-Gouache! The attached drawing is the traditional graphite drawing for it. The tools used were Strathmore Smooth Bristol (2 ply) and Kimberly 2H pencils with 0.5mm 2H and HB Mechanical pencils.
I have not decided what the monthly bonus content will be once we hit the new goal, and I will probably put up a poll to get a better sense for what you guys would be most interested in. Right now I am leaning towards either a traditionally painted figure or vignette scene, or doing a deck of cards with 1 new face card each month. But I am getting ahead of myself... For now, please enjoy the new drawing! I will share the traditional painting with you guys later this month!

I do often use a cream colored drawing paper for my work, but I didn't for this one. Whenever I scan in an image on white bristol I have a Photoshop file I drop it into that has some custom adjustments and tones already in it. I do this mainly to even out any inconsistencies in the scan and kill the whites, but also because I just like the slightly warmer tone. Also, I totally agree, I would LOVE to see a toned Bristol paper on the market!!

I've not seen a tinted Bristol, but I think I would hyperventilate if I did - I love the smoothness of that paper, but I also really like to work on toned paper! Thanks for being such an inspiration :)
