Today I am working on teaching myself to carve some waves for the January artist trading card swap with the theme: sea monsters. At some point I will be drawing some sort of sea monster as well.
By enlarging and tracing some of the examples I found, I am starting to get the hang of the motion I need for drawing my own waves.
Tracings are on the top, my scribbles are on the bottom.
Like this sort of thing...isn't this beautiful?
I know I have other examples in kid books but I can't find them today. I pulled up this still from the film "Moonrise Kingom" -- that sort of waves.
Eventually I will feel confident enough to draw and carve my own waves...and they will be combined with my clouds and other elements that I have made previously.
I am going to use the "make-it-twice-as-big-then-reduce-it-to-the-correct-ATC-size" method that I've used in the past for other artist trading cards.
The oversized playing card is the size I work in and then the Magic: the Gathering cards are what I use as a foundation/base for my cards.
