Thanks for joining in today. Before I continue, I wanted to share that yesterday evening I added a second post, Dudley in living color. I’m not sure what’s the best way to get the word out there. Perhaps, you have a suggestion, if so feel free to offer your thoughts in comments. You can find all previous A2Z links in my Little Mermaid Art sketch series easily under Latest Mews in my side menu. ☞ ☞ ☞
Okay, moving right along to today’s illustration – Prince Eric. To transfer my pencil drawings to the computer, I use my iPhone camera to photograph and then upload the file. Unfortunately, the lighting balance in our home isn’t equal enough to do this job well which doesn’t do my sketch justice. Hopefully, you are enjoying my shares despite the image quality.
In the step-by-step directions on how to draw Eric, the illustrator drew the Prince with a toothy grin. I couldn’t get that nailed and it didn’t translate well when I photographed it, so I changed him to have a closed lip smile.
What can I say about Eric, except he’s a hopeless romantic and shy around girls? That’s why he was reluctant to kiss Ariel in the ‘Kiss the Girl’ scene. 😉
I don’t know when I’ll offer a Prince Eric in living color but as soon as I do, I’ll either add it to the original or do a separate post like last night. Which way do you like best?
